Summary

Never has saying good night been so much fun Before he goes to bed, Little Monkey insists that he has to say good night to all the performers under the Big Top tent: Ringmaster, Elephant, Strong Man, the Clowns, and, of course, Mama. In the process he becomes part of the performance himself until finally even Little Monkey can't delay bedtime any longer, and there is only one last good night to be said "Good night, Me!" Pictures packed with funny antics, whimsy, and affection capture all the charm of Little Monkey while this simple, playful text will have even the youngest listeners chiming in with their own "Good Night!"
