5.0 out of 5 stars One of our family's "Top Ten" children's books., June 5, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Cuddlers (Paperback)

This book has been a long-time favorite in our family. Both of our children delight in the details of the illustrations as well as in the simple, dreamy story of a family who begin the night in their separate beds but awake in the morning to find themselves all snuggled together in one bed. As a parent, I enjoy snuggling up with a child at bedtime to read a cozy story about a family of cuddlers. What a wonderful antidote for the cultural messages that stress separating yourself from your child at night.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Bedtime Story, June 10, 2000

This review is from: The Cuddlers (Paperback)

I bought this book for my son when he was 3 (now 4.5) and it quickly became a special bedtime story. It is so relaxing, sweet, and reflective of our nighttime choices. When the children all wander down the hall and end up snuggled together in one big bed with Mommy and Daddy, it shows a strong sense of love and security. My son loves it.

This review is from: The Cuddlers (Paperback)

It's not terribly fanciful and the illustrations are dull. I love the idea--like if I met a parent who had no idea how to get her kids to sleep, or I met one whom I suspected was a closet family-bedder, or if I wanted a gift for a new parent---just to let them know that people do this, happily.
But the story is dry and the pictures look like they came from a textbook. It feels more like propaganda than entertainment. I am glad I have it, but I was disappointed, as you can tell. The people who would buy this book would usually be people who are cuddlers themselves, and I bet most of them already have much cuter stories to tell about sleeping in one bed together!
