Good cuddle book. Even the illustrations make me drowsy.

This is another book I picked up from my library's used book store for my grandchildren. Richly illustrated with a catchy poem woven into the illustrations, I'm hoping it will make a nice bedtime story for them. The very large format should allow the two-year-olds (they're twins) to enjoy the pictures.

This delightful picture book is like a lullabye with pages.

The simple text by Marni McGee is effective at presenting a very real world where bedtime and sleepiness are part of the natural order of things.

As for the illustrations by Sam Williams, he's an artist's dream of simple images that radiate comfort and security.

FIVE STARS earned so sweetly!

This is a great sleep book for very little ones, walking through the bedtime routine describing everything as "sleepy" including things around the house, parents as they kiss him asleep, and finally the child as he goes to bed.

Lovely pictures - one to two words on a page. Gentle baby/toddler book.

We read this for our Sleepytime story time. It's a good gentle book similar to Goodnight Moon. The illustrations are lovely, especially the mouse and the moon!

Short, simple, sweet lyrics and beautiful illustrations make this the perfect bedtime book to be read quietly to infants/toddlers/preschoolers. Or to be read by beginning readers. Loved it! Like a lullaby.

I loved this book. It is kind of like Goodnight Moon to me. Lots of repetition, but so perfect for lulling your little into slumber land.

Pretty average bed time story. It sets a nice rhythm. Features dad putting the child to bed.
