Thank You and Good Night by Caldecott Honor artist Patrick McDonnell (Me... Jane) is about a surprise pajama party for an adorable rabbit named Clement. He and his bear and elephant friends do a chicken dance, have a funny-face contest, play hide-and-seek and even do a little yoga, until the night winds down and the kindly human, Maggie, suggests: "Now, before we go to sleep, let's all say what we were thankful for this day." The long, long list--from a moon to a red balloon--is a soothing bedtime rhyme that ends with a good-night kiss. McDonnell's simple illustrations of the three tiny friends are ridiculously, impossibly cute, especially when the once-tireless trio is yawning. --Karin Snelson, children's editor, Shelf Awareness
