This endearing sequel to 'Good morning, Sam' shows Sam getting ready for bed in his own funny way, with some hindrance from his dog and a little help from his sister, Stella. With gentle humour, affectionate understanding of young children and a deft way with watercolour, Marie-Louise Gay makes ideal picture books for preschoolers. Mary-Louise Gay's beautiful picture books explore endearing moments in the lives of young children. It's bedtime for lovable Sam and his sister Stella. Sam can't go to sleep without his little dog. None of Stella's suggestions are very helpful so Sam and Stella go searching through the moonlit house.
