Puede que ya sea hora de acostarse, pero un niño tiene demasiadas preguntas acerca del mundo para conciliar el sueño. Los chiquitines y mama y papá quedarán encantados y deleitados al ver como un padre responde con paciencia y creatividad a las preguntas suscitadas por la imaginación del niño antes de dormir.

Little ones and their parents will be charmed and delighted as a patient father offers up increasingly creative responses to his child’s nighttime wonderings. Any child who has ever asked “Why?” — and any parent who has attempted an explanation — will recognize themselves in this sweet storybook for dreamers who are looking for answers beyond “Just because.”
