Good Night, Farm by Patricia Hegarty

This gentle farm animal bedtime story follows a wise owl making her nightly rounds to wish goodnight to all the sleepy creatures. Through soothing rhyming verses, young readers encounter pigs wiggling into their sty, horses whispering goodnights, and a scarecrow finally resting after a long day. The book's standout feature is its variety of touch-and-feel textures that invite little fingers to explore different surfaces throughout the farmyard scenes, making this an interactive sensory experience.

The combination of calming rhythmic text and tactile elements creates a multi-sensory wind-down routine perfect for toddlers resisting bedtime. Parents will appreciate how the predictable structure and repetitive goodnight phrases signal that sleep time is approaching, while the textured pages keep fidgety hands engaged during reading. This farm-themed sleepytime book successfully transforms the bedtime struggle into a peaceful, interactive ritual that both children and caregivers will look forward to each evening.
