Where do sleepy animals go to rest in the meadow after a busy day? Beautiful butterflies sleep on brown cattail pillows, while Meadowlark birds rest on a branch of a willow. Dragonflies drift in maple leaf canoes while bees in their honey hive hum as they snooze.Toddlers might be surprised as they learn how these little critters get ready for bed at night. They will learn that animals and insects have to wind down without potty breaks, snacks or chatting it up. They have to snuggle up and rest their weary heads for the night.Dark swirls with brightly colored animals and insects represent what a sleepy meadow must be like. Soft rhyme sounds like a whisper as it rolls off the tongue. The subtle details of the meadow will have toddlers learning new objects, animals and insects each time the story is read. This is also a great story for bonding between parent and child.
I am sending out a big thank you to the parents who suggested this lovely book. My son adores it and it has become our bedtime book. The pictures are lovely, the language is beautiful. I am so pleased!
This Bedtime story is wonderful and perfect to read to little ones as they are preparing for bed. The illustrations and story both help to make a child's experience very calming! I bought several copies to give to my Grandchildren and as gifts for baby showers. Very well written and the cover is nicely padded which is perfect for little hands.
First thing, it doesn't have free return shipping! So once you buy it you're stuck with it. I also had issues with USPS getting it delivered. Beyond that, the art isn't what I hoped for and the font is really hard to read in places. It's a simplistic story so you can figure it out but it'll be useless for teaching kids to read since the font makes it challenging for adults to read. I wish I could return it. I'm frustrated I can't. I don't want this book. I think I could find a better one.
I bought this along with fox-themed sheets from Babies R Us and a "Fox Lil Snugglers Cuddle toy on as a themed gift for a colleague's baby shower. The book appears to high-quality and the colors are beautifully vivid. It was a great addition to the gender-neutral gift I had prepared.
This precious book combines a lovely bedtime story with adorable illustrations of animal families readying for bedtime. It is a perfect read for bedtime and an ideal gift for young children or for baby showers (I bought multiples to have on hand). The padded cover is unique and adds to the child friendliness of the book. I believe this will be a new bedtime classic!!
A very charming book, sure to be a classic. I purchased several copies for my nieces and nephews, plus extra copies for friends. It is a lovely story with beautiful illustrations.
My 3 year old grandson loves this story before bed each night! Nicely constructed, heavy duty for little ones toting it around..
