Good Night, Good Night

In this delightfully illustrated and written book Helen takes us into the forest where a mother monkey is holding her little monkey who doesn't want to go to sleep and tells the neighboring snake the it is because hunger calls. The little monkey's mother feeds the little monkey but then the tummy is a problem, making the fussy monkey share with the jackal. Mother rubs the tummy and the next thing is the little monkey has wet pants as shared with a porcupine. Mother changes the little monkey's diaper and the next need is for a bedtime story as shared with a greyhound. Once again the mother meets the need with a bedtime story, but there is one last need - to tell the mother she is loved.
