A bedtime and introduction to the veggie patch, with a steady rhythm and vibrant illustrations from Zach OHora. Goodnight, Veggies - goodnight, everyone!

As the sun begins to set over the garden, the tomatoes are tucked in, the cucumbers are calm, and the beetroots are simply beat. But what’s got them all so exhausted?

Celebrate the turning of day to night in this perfect bedtime ritual for plants - and humans - everywhere!

Industry Reviews

"Sweet and funny... The (intentional) sleepiness of the book's action is balanced by the presence of a lively earthworm in a baseball cap who swoops through the color-saturated double-page spreads, athletically looping through tunnels and popping up occasionally to check out the dozing garden denizens. The childlike approach, appealing art, and relatable worm character are enough to connect story and audience..."
Horn Book Horn 2020 Summer Reading List, starred review

"Perfectly suited for reading aloud... the simple text, solid rhythm, and effective alliteration put this in the reach of beginning readers as well. OHora's illustrations have a rich earthiness to them. Even the most veggie-averse kid will appreciate this cute bunch of crudites."
BCCB

"Featuring vibrant illustrations, lively rhymes, and playful touches.... This artful take on familiar nighttime routines is an enjoyable blend of whimsical, cozy, and sweet."
Booklist

"Steady rhythm, whimsical rhymes, abundant alliteration, and hand-lettered sleep-appropriate sounds to share like "zzzzz" and "snore! snore!" extend the read-aloud experience. A bedtime veggie feast for the eyes and ears."
Kirkus

"Snuggled-in vegetables and sweet, lilting text offer an effectively snoozy bedtime rhyme."
