More About the Author
Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
When Willa can't sleep, big brother Willoughby tells her of all the happy things waiting for her to wake up to in the morning. There are her slippers waiting for her feet to slip into them, her playsuit waiting for her to jump out of bed and get dressed, her breakfast waiting to be eaten and her toys dreaming of the games she is going to play. Best of all, there's someone special who's going to be there tomorrow when she opens her eyes. Joyce Dunbar's wonderfully reassuring narrative is beautifully complemented by Debi Gliori's warm and tender illustrations, creating the perfect story to banish night-time fears and help any young child drift peacefully into sleep. --Philippa Reece

A beautiful and touching book,
By Mark Wilson (Gravesend, Kent United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tell Me Something Happy Before I Go to Sleep (Hardcover)
This book captures perfectly the warm relationship between a young rabbit who can't sleep and her big brother. It is beautifully observed and the feelings of Willa, the baby rabbit are almost tangible as is her brother's patient and soothing conversation. As usual, Debi Gliori's pictures capture the mood exactly. This book will captivate young children, paticularly those with a younger sibling and cannot fail to touch any parent. You'll be asking your chidren if you can read it!

A Dunbar Delight,
By Joanne Kermode (Tamworth, Staffs United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tell Me Something Happy Before I Go to Sleep (Book & Toy) (Hardcover)
Quite simply this boxed set is a delight. The story of young Willa who does not want to go to bed is something to which any parent can relate. As the book progresses, Willa's loving older brother, Willoughby helps her to think happy thoughts and finally coaxes her to go to bed, where she eventually falls into peaceful slumber.Every time I read this book to my son Josh, it makes me smile and it leaves him feeling comforted and relaxed enough to fall off to sleep. The cuddly toy, Willa, is his very favourite toy without which he cannot sleep and I am anxious to read the sequel to this story which I am convinced will be just as beautifully written and perfectly illustrated.

Tell me something happy before i go to sleep,
By AlessandraBester "AlessandraBester" (London UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tell Me Something Happy Before I Go To Sleep (Paperback)
Lovely book! Worked very well for my boy who suffer separation difficulties as it normalise the distress before bedtime. Good way to teach about emotions. Also, very good alternative to social story for children with special needs.
