There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Plus it was translated from the Swedish (and apparently not edited AT ALL). But, I pretty much hate all books translated from Swedish. Stieg Larsson, John Ajvide Lindqvist, IKEA directions (That last one was a joke, obvs.).
This is a direct quote from the book.
"After a pause with relaxation the kind Sleepy Snail said that the secret is to calm down and to do everything in a more slowly manner. Walk slowly, so slowly. Move slowly, so slowly. Think slowly, breathe slowly and calm, slow and calm, just down down now."
So my kid will be sleep deprived AND speak with bad adverbs? I know I'm tired, but I can't do that to my kid.
Good ol' Amazon refunded me.
When I heard about this book, I bought it with low expectations; we tried so many things and nothing works. I read it to our six-year-old son; IT WORKED! He feel asleep peacefully halfway through the story! I tried again another night when he wouldn't settle down...it worked again! But, as others have noted, the book is long, has intentionally unusual sentence structure in places, and for the imaginative child, can prompt a lot of questions: "how does Roger know my name?" or "why do you keep saying down like that?" There is also a bit of straining to see pictures. The book worked after some re-direction but it wasn't as calm (for me) as I'd hoped.
For our two-year-old, the book version was an epic fail. I was literally reading in a calm soothing voice and yawning as he got bored and started jumping on the bed and doing somersaults.
So, I decided to try the audiobook version. Mostly because one night after reading several other books to our six-year-old I was that lazy. After a quick download we snuggled and relaxed and let someone else do the heavy lifting. There are two chapters to the audiobook, both just over 30 minutes. Chapter 1 has brief instructions and is read by a male voice. Chapter 2 is read by a female voice. Our son was asleep within 10 minutes. After a few nights, one of us would start the book and check on him; he has yet to make it to the 8-minute mark. Tonight, he swore to me he "just wasn't sleepy." Fast asleep in 8 minutes!
For our two-year-old, the audiobook has worked much better. There are no distracting pictures. It's the same voice every night. I turn the iPad over so there is no light. Tonight, I got both boys to go to sleep at the same time, yay!!
The thing I like most is the positive sleep messaging. Children are really empowered to learn relaxation and stress management skills in a way they can understand. Mama Rabbit suggests putting thoughts in a box at night for your brain to work on. The snail suggests slow movement and breathing. The owl leads them through relaxing each part of their bodies. The uncle does positive affirmations. I think it's a great tool.
