Bookroo's summary
In a house where everything is sleepy, music drifts in, stirring chairs to rock and dishes to dance. A sleepy boy awakens to the lively scene, only for the music to fade, returning the house to its tranquil slumber. What magic does this melody hold, and will it return to awaken the sleepy house once more?
From the publisher
In a sleepy sleepy house everything is so sleepy – until music drifts in through an open window. Chairs begin to rock, dishes begin to dance, and a sleepy boy opens his eyes to the revelry of the once-sleepy house. Then, softly, the music drifts out, and everything is sleepy sleepy once more.
With his soothing text and gentle, whimsical illustrations, Uri Shulevitz has created the ultimate sleepy sleepy bedtime story.
So Sleepy Story is a 2006 New York Times Book Review Best Illustrated Book of the Year.
