Somewhere in the city,
Lucyisquo;s just not ready to go to bed.
She opens her bedroom window and lets in the bustle of the street below.
Stores are closing. A scruffy dog sniffs an empty pail.
ydquo;Daddyusquo;s coming home,sdquo; she calls to the dog.
Woof-woof, barks the dog.
The sights and sounds of the city come alive in a magical way as Lucy waits eagerly for her father to return from work. Watching out the window, Lucytsquo;s view of dogs, bakers, and buses is juxtaposed with her fatherysquo;s journey through crowds, trains, and finally home to tuck her in. Detailed illustrations contrast a child squo;s fantastical view of the world with reality, all leading up to a cosy finish that will make this a perfect bedtime book for city children everywhere.
