What is Little Donkey Close Your Eyes about?
As night falls, a little donkey on the hill is told to close his eyes and settle down. One by one, other animals prepare for sleep: a playful monkey, grazing sheep, a noisy pig, singing birds and a mother cat with her kittens. At last, a small child is tucked into bed beneath the quiet stars. With gentle rhymes and a soothing rhythm, this comforting bedtime poem celebrates the peaceful end of a busy day.
