Just like wild animal babies—the panda and the penguin, the orangutan and the otter—a tiny human child drifts off to sleep while a loving parent asks, “Where's my sleepy baby?” A warm and rhythmic story to read at bedtime.
Blues and grays shift to soft yellows when household objects sway and come alive, and a sleeping child awakens in the night as music drifts into a “sleepy sleepy house.”
This cinematic circular tale flies young readers from sky to bed, bed to sky, and back again. A soothing text and crisp black scratchboard illustrations lit with yellow make bedtime a welcoming experience.
Little Hoot has a problem. He wants to go to bed but his parents make him stay up late! Charming pen and watercolor illustrations make this a hit (or hoot) for parents and toddlers alike
