I like this book. Most important, my son likes this book and we read it often. He likes to count the bugs.

My only gripe is the pictures are not very good. The Southern Green Stink bug looks really freaky and of course, he's in there most of the story. I think the book would have been a whole lot better if they went with a different illustrator as the concept is really cute. However since my son doesn't seem to mind, I only downgraded it one star.

ILLUSTRATIONS ARE CUTE. MY NEICE WILL BE ENTERING PRESCHOOL SOON, SO BESIDES BEING A GOOD BEDTIME BOOK, IT WILL ALSO HELP WITH COUNTING, NUMBER RECOGNITION AND COLORS.

Elizabeth Provost's delightful bedtime story is filled with sweetness and fun. It is a lovely "read aloud" and a lively "read again" (and again). Donald Saaf's darling illustrations highlight Ms. Provost's lyrical story. This book will delight young and old.

This is surely one of the cutest picture books to come out this year. Ten one-of-a-kind bugs count down to bedtime. "Ten little sleepyheads talking to their toys. One falls asleep in the middle of the noise." As you might guess, another sleepy bug falls asleep on each page. What you might not guess is the sweetly gentle ending, "Is he asleep? No? Well, here we go again!" offering another read-through to the child who doesn't fall asleep the first time. The inside cover pictures the comic sleepyhead bugs and the actual insects the artist used for inspiration, like a sweet potato weevil, a bush katydid, and the Southern green stink bug, all certain to garner a sleepy smile or two.

It is a well-loved concept. . .twirled into a whole new story.
