Overview

The coziest lift-the-flap bedtime book ever!

Cuddle up, little koala! A baby koala, a lion cub, a baby hippo, other baby animals, and a little boy are getting ready for bed. This comforting flap book with gentle bedtime rituals is the perfect end to a busy child's day.

In this lift-the-flap book, toddlers will see some of the little things creatures do as they resist sleepytime. Then, with the flip of a flap, each baby animal gets cozy enough to fall sleep with comforting cuddles, stretches, and yawns.

Poetic text and beautiful art will charm toddlers and their caregivers alike, and with the sturdy pages, children can enjoy this board book again and again.

Children's Literature - Eleanor Heldrich

This charming little seven and a half inch square book about affectionate mommies and drowsy baby animals illustrated in the sleepy colors of early evening is the perfect book choice when it is bedtime for a toddler. There are eight double-page spreads, each featuring a different baby animal getting ready for bed. The mommy elephant is giving her baby a bath. The lion mommy is watching her babies stretch and yawn. A little hippo's eyes are starting to close as he lies in a "warm, squishy swamp," and a new puppy inside a warm house is curled into a soft pillow. There are seven double-page spreads, each with a large flap to lift. On the next-to-the-last page a baby owlet with its eyelids half closed is sharing a nest with its wide-eyed mommy, but by the time the flap is raised the baby owl has closed his eyes and is fast asleep. The book comes to a close with, "Good night, someone, somewhere." This book will make any reader sleepy. Reviewer: Eleanor Heldrich
