Description
Arlo the lion tries hard to fall asleep, but rest will not come until an owl shares a calming song with him. Following her gentle advice opens the way to a quieter, more peaceful night. Catherine Rayner’s warm story and atmospheric illustrations make this an inviting bedtime read, giving children space to think about slowing down, feeling safe and finding comfort when their minds are still busy.
Age suitability and learning: Preschool (3-5), Primary (6-8). The illustrated story suits shared reading with younger children and more independent exploration as reading grows. Following events encourages prediction, sequencing and vocabulary; discussing the characters gives children practice recognising feelings and considering other perspectives.
Available at QT Toys in Battersea.
