More DescriptionA classic bedtime story for the very young, this tale of love by Mem Fox is a must-have for every Australian household.Mem Fox wrote this text to express her deep love for her new grandson, and to celebrate the close, all-encompassing relationship a caregiver can have with a small child. Written in gentle, rhythmic rhyme, it's the perfect winding-down story to read aloud before bed; as always, Mem's words also have lovely potential for interactivity.Illustrator Emma Quay (Rudie Nudie, Bear and Chook, the Friends for Keeps series) has articulated the story as the pre-bedtime routine of a parent and baby elephant as they climb the stairs, say goodnight to the moon, turn on the night lights, read a story and eventually say goodnight. There's a lovely dual narrative of the words and actions on the verso pages, and the 'going to bed' narrative on the recto pages.
