With starry night time scenes and an infectious “Good night” refrain, award-winning Irish author Chris Haughton has created a new picture book about going to sleep, perfect for parents and little ones to share at the end of the day.

The woodland families — bears, deer, rabbits, and teeny, tiny mice — are all beginning to feel really ... rather ... tired ... YAWN! “Dear me,” says Great Big Bear, “it must be time for bed!” But Little Bear is wide awake! (For now...).

Goodnight Everyone is suitable for children aged one and over, €15; www.easons.com
