All of that growing makes the veggies very tired. As the sunsets, they are watered in for the night.
The simple rhyming text combines with the colorful illustrations to provide a read aloud that will introduce young preschoolers to the concept of gardening. The text introduces new vocabulary while the illustrations have a story of their own to talk about as the little worm also gets ready for bed. ( )

In a rooftop garden, vegetables get ready to bed down for the night, in rhyming text. Why do veggies need to sleep?" "...nothing's more exhausting than growing day and night." Funny and bright; pair with another goodnight book (Goodnight Everyone by Chris Haughton, City Moon by Rachael Cole) or a food truck book (Food Truck Fest by Alexandra Penfold).
