Here's a nice introduction to the wildlife in this area: Where Do I Sleep: a Pacific Northwest Lullaby, by Jennifer Blomgren and illustrated by Andrea Gabriel. It's night time and the youngsters of whales, otters, eagles and more are settling down to sleep. Just where do they do so?

What happens when it's bedtime but you aren't sleepy? Listen for night noises! The sound of the house settling down, tree branches blowing against each other, geese on the wing ... The Night is Singing, by Jacqueline Davies and illustrated by Kyrsten Brooker is a lovely read for the end of the day.

What happened at night on the Ark? Noah's wife sang a lullaby, of course! Learn just what she sang in Naamah and the Ark at Night, a lullaby by Susan Campbell Bartoletti illustrated by Holly Meade. Don't skip the author's note at the end, it explains the rhyme pattern (every line ends with the same word), variations on the name 'Naamah' and why the Ark was the chosen subject. Beautiful.
