What better way to encourage a little one to sleep than with a soothing rhyme and image after image of sleeping animals! This gentle picture book introduces the sleeping habits of many animals - from puppies to whales - and compares them to the sometimes-unusual habits of human babies. In backpacks, on knees, in cradles or trees, sweet babies can sleep anywhere!
Bzio's palette is strong in mint, lemon, salmon, and red, lending a retro feel to her illustrations... animals described by salient features and babies with just line eyes, noses, and mouths, their cheeks tinged with pink scribbles. * Kirkus *
The tone is light and playful, and the one or two lines of text on most pages make this a perfect read-aloud selection. An excellent first purchase for baby and toddler storytimes. * School Library Journal *
