Beschrijving

Een prachtig getekend boek over hoe dieren op de boerderij gaan slapen. 
Vader vertelt erover aan zijn zoontje. 
 
A well-planned and well-developed book, both deceptively simple and complex.  
It opens with a father and young son gathering up a box of toy farm animals. The two figures are rendered in isolation against a stark white background.  
The boy asks his father how each of the various animals go to sleep. The father replies with a short rhyme that appears under an illustration showing first the individual creature and then a more inclusive farm scene with highly detailed backgrounds. 
 
Wijngaard's sparkling watercolors are a tour de force; he moves confidently from image to image, from the changing movements and expressions of the father and sleepy child, to authoritative paintings of the animals, all within the changing light and shadow of a waning day.  
Extending the story from cover painting to endpapers, these scenes make for a soothing and intriguing bedtime book.
