Tomie dePaola's appealing art perfectly complements John Graham's rhythmic text spoken by a little boy to the animals he loves, beginning with a mouse who he tells he would take care of with a furry nest and a nibble of cheese. He goes on to a kitten, a puppy, a lamb, a bunny, and other familiar baby animals until it is getting dark and his father picks him up and gently and lovingly puts him to bed.

Just right for reading to the very young at bedtime or anytime, this long out-of-print title now reappears in a larger format, re-illustrated in beautiful colours by Tomie dePaola.
