Alongside Zeki Rise and Shine, these are lush additions to the Zeki series and the very best of book friends to start and end a toddler's busy day! Flow along with Zeki's night time routine and then watch him burst into the next morning. McQuinn's text is a pleasure to read aloud. Phrases pop, snap and surprise: Zeki's bubble bath is a soaking in "smells of dark forests"; a bedtime book is a "dozy story". Hearson's snuggle-soft illustrations journey through the book with animal toys and motifs travelling through the pages. A smiley snail is first a pull along toy and then dangles from Zeki's crib mobile. A fluffy sheep flops on the floor and ends up in a special Zeki spoon on the final page. 'This has got lots of things children would relate to while also using some imaginative language and imagery. I loved the sleeping owls!' (Deborah, Lecturer in EY Education, Letterbox Library reviewer). Type 'Zeki' into our keyword search to find all of the other Zeki books we stock! Age 10 months-3yrs, Card pages 18pp
