The Sleepy Book [Board book]

Diane Muldrow (Author), Patti Ann Harris (Illustrator)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 2002 | Age Level: 1 and up

A follow-up to THE HAPPY BOOK, THE SLEEPY BOOK has an inviting die-cut cover, delightful touch-and-feel elements, and cozy rhyming text to help get a young child in the mood for bedtime.

Look out the window at the end of the day.
The sun is slowly fading away.

It's time to get ready for bed.... THE SLEEPY BOOK follows the various rituals a child experiences at bedtime -- putting away toys, taking a bath, being read a story or sung a lullaby, then snuggling under the covers with teddy and slowly falling asleep. Enhancing Diane Muldrow's warm and cozy text and Patti Ann Harris's bold, kid-friendly illustrations, are seven fun interactive elements: puffy golden satin of the sun going down, corrugated material of a toy block, yellow foam of a rubber ducky, terrycloth bath

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

For winding down, The Sleepy Book by Diane Muldrow, illus. by Patti Ann Harris, offers a lulling, rhyming text: "Look out the window / it's the end of the day./ The sun is slowly fading away." Each spread offers a touch-and-feel element, from the sun in the opening spread, to a Teddy bear's tummy at the end.

I bought this for my nephew who loves it. Along with his teddy bear, he wants to take it to bed with him. The Sleepy Book is an ideal book to read to young children at bedtime. Its bright illustrations and calming words are very soothing to little ones on their way to dreamland.

Ive bought this book twice now! My 19 month old LOVES this book. But the binding is very flimsy. It does not hold up to multiple readings. Ive never had a book fall apart so quickly! BUT...its worth buying anyway. She enjoys reading it still, even though all the pages have come out! *wishes for a better binding*
