Los pequeños animales se dan mucha prisa para llegar a sus casas antes de que se ponga el sol. Ven a conocer los diferentes tipos de familias en este poético libro antes de que llegue... la hora de dormir!Pequeña Jirafa, Elefantito, Lorito, Tigre, Rinoceronte y Gacela piden a sus familias (papá y mamá, dos papás, dos mamás, abuelos...) que se den prisa. El sol está empezando a ponerse y ha llegado la hora de dormir. El libro de cartón incluye un código QR para poder escuchar la nana cantada por la autora, narradora y psicóloga Alicia Acosta.

Critical Reviews

Each animal family has different parent combinations and modes of transportation, but every child is a leader, ensuring that the magic of the sun going down is experienced with glee - Booklist

Along with the lovely soft colors of dusk, the brief rhyming text describes the family and their destination, and it's like a lullaby. The text is equally lilting in Spanish and in English. The Spanish version has a QR code to take readers to a recording of the author singing the book as a song - Youth Services Book Review.
