This is the first bedtime book with only norwegian nynorsk stories. The book collects 22 new bedtime stories written by authors from all over Western Norway, both established writers and debutants.

Gunvor Rasmussen's lively illustrations give the book a unique color scheme. With The bedtime book, the well-known BT illustrator makes his debut in the children's book genre.

The stories are aimed at children from 6 years old and work both for reading aloud and for self-reading (from 8 years old). At the beginning of the book you will find easy-to-read stories that are suitable for the youngest. Later in the book, the stories become more advanced and are aimed at older children.

The bedtime book and the other books in the anthology series are popular christening and Christmas gifts and have become the new classics in norwegian nynorsk children's literature.

The Bednight Book may well end up as a modern standard work – on the bedside table.
