Sleepyheads by Sandra J. Howatt -- ESSENTIAL

Howatt, Sandra J. Sleepyheads, illustrated by Joyce Wan. PICTURE BOOK. Beach Lane Books, 2014. $16.99. Content: G.

Some sleepyheads snooze in nests, or holes, or caves. But where is the tiny sleepyhead who belongs in the cozy bedroom? Asleep in mama's arms, of course.

I think I could read this book to my preschooler every night before bed for the next several years because it is so peaceful and sweet, perfect for young children. The soothing rhythm and lovely pictures work together to make a cozy, simple sleepy-time read-aloud. I only wish it were available in a board book format to make it even more accessible for the very tiniest of listeners.

Pre-K -- ESSENTIAL. Reviewer: Caryn
