Bedtime books work when a baby can do something with them, and this one gives small fingers a job on every spread. Raised elements sit against matching cut outs, so a child who cannot yet turn a page cleanly can still trace, press and find things while the rhyme goes on above them.

The story is simple on purpose: Cuddle Bug goes round saying good night to each of her friends, one warm rhyming line at a time, until everyone including the reader is ready to stop. Natalie Marshall's illustration is bright without being loud, which matters at seven in the evening.

It joins the You're My Little series from Silver Dolphin Books, which has now sold more than 4.1 million copies, and it follows the bestselling You're My Little Cuddle Bug. At 18 chunky pages and just under seven and a half inches square it is a proper first library book: a new baby present, a baby shower present, and the one that ends up living in the cot.
