Description

From the creator of Jabari Jumps and Jabari Tries, the tale of a stalling child with a lively imagination and a passion for animal facts makes for the best kind of bedtime story.

Mama would like Sweet Pea to settle into bed, but its not quite time. Even though the bed is fluffy, its not as snuggly as curling up like a pig in the mud, or as spacious as sleeping in the wide ocean like a blue whale. Its not as fun as sleeping high up in a tree like a koala, or hanging upside down like a bat. And its definitely not as relaxing as sleeping standing up, like an emperor penguin. But after mimicking all the ways different animals rest, this little one concedes that a comfy bed, a soft pillow, and a good-night wish offer the best way to fall asleep after all. Gaia Cornwall brings us a loving, humorous story for even the most energetic of bedtime listeners.
