Customer Reviews

A wonderful read at bed time!

There are times when we all have trouble falling asleep. And Snowbaby is no different. On a cozy winter night he just couldn't get to sleep. Snowpapa suggested that he try to count snowflakes, and Snowmama put more snow on his bed because he was too hot. He still couldn't sleep so Snowpapa sang wonderful songs and gave Snowbaby his earmuffs, and Snowmama poured him a cold glass of water. That didn't work either because Snowbaby was lonely. So Snowpapa and Snowmama packed some soft snow, snipped buttons from Snowpapa's vest and ribbon from Snowmama's skirt and made a really special surprise. Snowbaby was so happy that it wasn't too long before sleep arrived. This delightful bedtime story will be requested many times by children who need reassurance that all is well in their nighttime world. And Jim Ishikawa's illustrations are fun, delicate and capture the story in delightful pictures. Armchair Interviews says: Snowbaby Could Not Sleep is a grand choice for those little ones who have a difficult time going to sleep.

Great Story Idea!

I was very impressed with this book. It is the story of a little snowman who could not sleep and what his snow-parents do to help him. What a cute idea for a story. The illustrations are absolutely adorable; the book is very well constructed and the storyline unique and original. All in all a wonderful book that should lit up any child's eyes with reading or listening to enjoyment. I recommend this one.

Sometime's It's Tough to Fall Asleep

Snowbaby could not sleep. He snuggled an extra snow blanket. He tried counting snowflakes. He asked for a drink of water. Then, Snowmama and Snowpapa had an idea. With a snip and a clip, they made Snowbaby a special surprise...and everyone drifted off to sleep. With interesting illustrations and a glimpse inside the life of snow people, Snowbaby Could Not Sleep will be a special sleepytime book for Snowbabies and real babies everywhere.
