This was my son's first book and I am now ordering our second copy since the first has been used SO much. He has many, many favorite books but this easy-to-read delightful bedtime story still stays on the top of his list and I would venture to say, this will not be the last copy I end up purchasing either.

This was the book I learned to read with. It is still my favorite, even though I am now 18. I buy it for ALL baby gifts. No words can describe how fun this book is. MUST BUY!!! :)

Good book for beginners. Words are constantly repeated into several different sentences through-out the book to familiarize your child with them for easy reading. Nice bold lettering. Pictures are nice as well and corresponds with the sentences for a good visual story. Not too long for starters and great for a bed time story. My child loves Step-Into-Reading books. They are fun for children and not intimidating to first time readers. I highly recommend this for your child. Delivery was fast and on time.

Great beginning reader. My five-year-old loved this story and it only had a couple of new words so she could build her vocabulary and reading skills. We have done all of the Dick and Jane books and I wanted more beginning readers and this is perfect.

my 13 year old daugther will be turning 14 on 6-3 the only thing she asked for was another copy of her first book,"sleepy dog", that was lost to fire. i didn't think she remembered the book. it is truely a wonderful book. she memorized it word for word. thank-you for such a warm loving book. k.d.mohammad aiken,s.c.

My 2.5 year old loves these books! Just the right pace for reading to a young toddler or older baby. Enough words to tell a story without being too wordy where the baby/ toddler loses interest. Highly recommend this book and all others in this series

Oh boy... I am 27 years old and I remember my mom reading me "Sleepy Dog" when I was 3-5 years old. I remember looking at the book and trying to sound out the words. I LOVED this book as a child. It has stayed with me for all these years.Fast forward 20 some odd years with a 4 month old, 4 year old and a 6 year old child this was one of the first books I bought for my kids.There is nothing like making memories by reading. It's personal and it's a one on one activity that includes cuddling and security. "Sleepy Dog" give you all of that with easy to read words for children who are learning to sound out words and make sentences. The pages are colorful, and the story line is cute and simple.This book will be passed down for years in my family and will always be a favorite. I recommend this book for anyone who wants the same. :)

We used this book during a recent visit by my granddaughter, since she has two cats and recently lost her dog. I knew she would relate to the animals.Sure enough, she enjoyed reading it with her Mom, but she has a correction for the title, since OBVIOUSLY there is a cat in the story too, that it is Sleepy Cat and Dog.The story is a good one to read before bedtime, and is especially appropriate for young children who enjoy dogs and cats. I suggest that you begin reading this book BEFORE your child is ready to read since it is one with easy word pictures and rhymes that they will learn over time and it will help them take that leap into reading, that those squiggles on the page have meaning.Good choice for very young kids.
