Six baby animals, one busy day, and the sweetest way to say, "time for a nap!" A polar bear slides across the ice, and a lion cub tries out her very first roar. A puppy races a kitten down the stairs, while a bunny hops until her ears flop. A tiny bluebird twirls across the sky, as a baby giraffe stretches for leaves just out of reach. Each little one plays, tumbles, and tries again until it's time to wave and say: "Goodbye, Mr. Sun, I'll be right back! But first it's time to take a nap." With a gentle refrain that returns throughout the story, little listeners can join in, name the animals, and quickly learn the words. And on the final pages comes a sweet surprise: the story turns toward your own little one, who gets to wave goodbye to Mr. Sun too. Perfect for naptime, bedtime, or any moment when little bodies need help slowing down, Goodbye, Mr. Sun! brings together playful rhymes, beautiful illustrations, and a comforting rhythm that children can make their own.
