Summary: What A Beautiful Book !
Comment: This beautifully illustrated and beautifully written children's book is an absolute delight ! Each time I snuggle up with a little one and read this story I am again entranced by the pictures and the gentle imagery of the words. The qualities of sleep are depicted by various animals,some are babies with loving animal parents nearby to keep them safe and some are grown. In this story, sleep slowly, gently, and quietly, approaches and enfolds a little one and transports them to the wonders of dreamland. As the book is read the pictures become more and more restful in color and the words create a dreamy image. I always feel myself being lulled into relaxation right along with my little listener. I frequently give this oversized book with double full-page lush illustrations as a gift. It gets rave reviews and often becomes a favorite. It is appropriate for ages 1 - 7.
It gets and deserves an unreserved 5 stars.

Summary: Want to get your child to sleep? Here's an answer.
Comment: I don't own this book - yet. I borrowed it from the library and love it! I've read this to my 21 month old son a couple times and I know that with a quiet voice this book will certainly settle him down. He enjoys looking at the pictures an giving the sound each animal makes. I plan to own this book very soon.

Summary: Great bedtime story for young listeners & beginning readers
Comment: Another great collaboration between author Marion Dane Bauer and illustrator JoEllen McAllister Stammen, this wonderful bedtime story reminds me of Time for Bed by Mem Fox.

The use of a repititious sentence at the end of each page, helps to bring young listeners and beginning readers into the story. This is a great bedtime story to read to small children. Animals preparing for a restful night are depicted throughout this beautiful book. At the end, if a young reader looks very carefully, they will notice the father was reading this particular book to his young child before he falls asleep. The child, however is still awake and looking at a stuffed polar bear. She drifts off to sleep, dreaming about riding off on the back of the polar bear.

The beautiful illustrations reflect the authors words perfectly. The animals throughout the book are illustrated with great detail. An excellent book. A must buy for anyone with young children. This would also be a great baby shower gift!
