Tell Me Something Happy Before I Go to Sleep (Book & Toy) [Hardcover]

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 --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
