Sweet rhymes and soft illustrations are the hallmark of this bedtime book. Pacing is excellent from first-time author Sandra J. Howatt. The cuddly and rotund animals resemble Pillow Pets, and appear to be a signature look from illustrator Joyce Wan. The texture of large swaths of background, i.e., the night sky, seems too digitally filled. On the flip side, digital coloring provides lovely luminescence to the glowing moon, stars, fireflies, and dandelions. The moon in fact makes an appearance on every page, perhaps an homage to that all-time bedtime classic in the title above.While I adore both animals and children in real life, I often find that well-drawn animals and well-drawn children are mutually exclusive in books. The animals here exhibit a cuteness--even the Nutter Butter Otter--missing in the final spread. The typeface is Amasis, though I prefer the non-bold attributes of Regular over Medium, especially for white-on-black text.Minor quibbles aside, Sleepyheads would be a fine addition to a bedtime bookshelf stocked with Goodnight Moon, Guess How Much I Love You,
