Sleepy Cat

By: Frances Gilbert

Book Overview

Kittens taking catnaps and puppies who are dog-tired...Irresistible photographs of comfortably dozing cats and dogs, plus the simplest possible text, will lull little ones to sweet slumber. Each page of these sturdy board books has only one word, and every word--from "yawn" to "pillow"--relates to sleep. There's a natural progression, too, as the animals go from being tired to getting tucked in, to settling down, to dreaming. Of course, there's nothing more adorable than a drowsy or napping pet. Kids will never tire of looking at a cat snuggled up to a teddy bear, pups with their nightcaps on, a big boxer spread across a bed, and a tiny kitten curled cozily in a basket. And that's sure to make this every toddler's favorite way to say "goodnight!"

Customer Reviews

Great bedtime reading

As cat lovers, my son and I love this book. It's great sleepy-inducing reading. With my son's short attention span, one word per page is just right. I even use it for my personal bedtime reading! It helps my insomnia =)

Cute!!!

My 1yr old son loves this book & all the pictures of kitties! The only reason it didn't get 5 stars is that I wish the author would have the pictures in a different order so that it's more working up to going to sleep. There are a few pictures that should be in a different order. Overall, though, very cute!

A Sweet, Pretty Little Book!

This is a short, sturdy little board book with charming photographs of cats & kittens in various stages of slumber... each picture is accompanied by a single word relating to sleep ("quiet", "yawn", "peaceful", etc.) It would be ideal for toddlers between ages 1-2 (the text was technically too babyish for my almost-3-yr.-old, but he loves cats so much, it didn't matter!) The photos alone are worth collecting this book!
