“Such a sweet bedtime book! I love that this book takes a look at where animals sleep with a soothing rhyme and sweet illustrations. It does feel a little repetitive calling all animals sleepyheads rather than naming the animals (I wish it had done that instead).”

5.0

“This is a sweet going-to-bed book complete with soothing text and gentle calming illustrations that goes perfectly with a pre-bed cuddle! All the animals are simply called "sleepyheads" in the book, so you can add in discussing with your child what each animal is and also look for the moon on each page if you're interested in a little "I Spy".”
