Baby Badger's Wonderful Night by Karen Saunders

Baby Badger is scared of the dark so Papa Badger decides to show him how wonderful the night is. He shows him the colours and the stars and makes him feel safe. As the sun comes up, Baby Badger falls asleep in his Papa's arms...

This is such a gorgeous book. I feel all warm and cosy just writing about it. The illustrations - by Dubravka Kolanovice - are soft and dreamy and the text is gentle, relaxing and perfect for a bedtime story, particularly for a baby or toddler.

(It's currently in hardback so is a bit on the expensive side, but it's out in paperback later this year.)
