PreS-Gr 1–A school building settles in for the night in this new bedtime staple. As the school day ends, the school itself needs to rest for a new day. The night guard comes to watch over the building and follows clues to locate a loose creature while checking in on the different parts of the building. Doerrfeld’s illustrations are bright and clever in design. Young readers will love finding the different faces created from the chairs, rugs, and everyday items found on every page. They will also enjoy the roaming class pet. This story is told in a gentle, calming rhyme that is sure to lull listeners into a good night’s sleep.
VERDICT A lovely tale of all the wonderful parts of a school getting much-deserved rest for a fun, new day with students.
