5.0 out of 5 stars Six Short Stories And a Song Lull Your Child To Sleep, August 15, 2003

This review is from: Snoozers : 7 Short Short Bedtime Stories for Lively Little Kids (Board book)

This book makes for great bedtime reading and has help my daughter to go to sleep on many a night. Six cute little stories about bedtime and a nonsense song make up the contents which are illustrated by a whole bunch of Boynton animals. The contents are as follows:

Snoozers - A story of the Snoozers who can sleep anywhere and anytime (except bedtime).
I'm Not Tired - A little bear puts himself to sleep by fussing about not being tired.
The Big Yawn - Just what the title says. Beware.

Pajamas - Different animals like different types of pajamas. What kind of animal are you? My son is a piggy and my daughter is a moose (so am I).
Six Sleepy Sheep - A poem of the evening activities of the title characters as they get ready for sleep.
Night Sounds - All of the snores of the jungle as the animals sleep until...
Silly Lullaby - A really silly song.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lifesaver at bedtime, September 29, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Snoozers : 7 Short Short Bedtime Stories for Lively Little Kids (Board book)

I found this book in an airport on a week long trip my son was determined to spend awake, or that's how it seemed at bedtime. This book did the trick to get him to sleep without a fuss--both that night, and every "I'm not tired" night since then. Both the stories and the format are perfect for giving the little ones the illusion of control--they choose which stories to read from the "table of contents" tabs on the side, and in which order. The number of stories is just right to make kids feel like they've gotten you to keep reading a long time, even though the entire book only takes minutes to finish. Bravo to Boynton!

5.0 out of 5 stars My benchmark for a great toddler book, December 8, 1999

This was the first book my busy toddler really loved. Now she's 4 and can read it herself, and she still loves it. And what's more, I'm not even tired of it! The humor, the rhymes, and the dialogue that invites participation are all great. "Meatier" than the smaller Boynton board books, but still in just-right bite-sized chunks. In my opinion, the best Boynton's done (unless you count Rhinoceros Tap, which play to a somewhat older audience but is also a huge winner).
