The book consists mostly of the brief conversations between Aunt Nina and the children, including the repeated, gentle command, "Lights out!" Across from each page of Brandenberg's text are Aliki's large colored pencil and watercolor illustrations detailed with black pen.

Eventually Aunt Nina climbs into the large bed with the children, and the last illustrations show them sleeping peacefully with the cat asleep at the foot of the bed. Of course, spending the night with their beloved aunt and being all together is so exciting that the children delay going to sleep as long as possible. In this, the third book about Aunt Nina, she has invited the children to spend the night at her house.

PreSchool-K- Aunt Nina is young, single, and has no children of her own, so naturally she dotes upon her six nieces and nephews.
