The Going to Bed Book
By Sandra Boynton
The sun has set not long ago
Now everybody goes below
To take a bath in one big tub
With soap all over, scrub, scrub, scrub
They hang their towels on the wall
And find pajamas big and small
With some on top and some beneath
They brush and brush and brush their teeth.
And when the moon is on the rise, they all go up to exercise
And down once more, but not so fast
They’re on their way to bed at last
The day is done. They say goodnight, and somebody turns off the light.
The moon is high. The sea is deep. They rock and rock and rock to sleep.
I just typed that from memory. I didn’t even cheat. This is one of Claire’s favorite books. Can you tell?
