​

After a hard day of growing, the vegetables in this urban rooftop garden need to tuck in at night and get their rest! This rhyming bedtime story uses inventive language to make the veggies seem sleepy: children will read about the cuddly cauliflowers and the tuckered-out tomatoes, the droopy pods of peas, the beets that are beat, and the corn covering their ears in order to sleep.
