Good night, sloth… Sweet dreams, jaguar… At bedtime, the ritual of preparing for sleep enchants babies and young children, making this moment even more special. With the book ‘Shhh’, the reader will say ‘good night’ to the cutest little animals in the Amazon rainforest. At the end, a humorous surprise shows the baby in the story getting ready for his nap! The delicate illustrations reveal how each animal prefers to sleep, whether alone or cuddled up to its parents; on its belly or down, and even with one eye open! Any resemblance to us humans is no coincidence!
