Bookroo's summary

As the day winds down, little ones find their eyes heavy and limbs weary from play. With soothing verses and lullaby-like art, this bedtime book gently guides them to dreamland. Will the tired little eyes finally close, surrendering to the sweet embrace of sleep? Shhh...

"Tired little heart, never skips a beat"

— from the book

From the publisher

A board book for the most cuddly bedtime ever!

Tired little eyes,

ready now for bed,

Tired little everything,

precious sleepyhead.

By the end of a busy day, little knees are tired from crawling, little arms are tired from stretching—even little lips are tired from blowing kisses. But with the help of gentle verse, and art as sweet as a bedtime lullaby, tired little eyes will quickly give way to sleep.

Shhh . . .

“I love that this bedtime book is sweet and rhyming while also teaching little ones the names of body parts (eyes, arms, tummy, ears...). The pictures are sweet and have lots of different babies in them, bringing in a great diversity factor.”
