This is a book about how different families say goodnight. There is a family of dogs, pigs, sheep, cats, ducks, an humans. All these families represent the many different kinds of people in the world, and how similarly they all say "goodnight".
The different ways are things like tucking the child in and turning out the light, a lullaby, soft pajamas, etc.

A lovely children's story that is truly timeless.

It seemed like a timely re-read, shortly after the birth of John Alexander Lushbough, my new grandson. I had barely remembered it, but I was glad to read it again.

The velveteen rabbit asks about what is real. The skin horse replies, "Real isn't how you're made. It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become REAL."
