CUTE BOOK

ILLUSTRATIONS ARE CUTE. MY NEICE WILL BE ENTERING PRESCHOOL SOON, SO BESIDES BEING A GOOD BEDTIME BOOK, IT WILL ALSO HELP WITH COUNTING, NUMBER RECOGNITION AND COLORS.

A precious story for precious little ones

Elizabeth Provost's delightful bedtime story is filled with sweetness and fun. It is a lovely "read aloud" and a lively "read again" (and again). Donald Saaf's darling illustrations highlight Ms. Provost's lyrical story. This book will delight young and old.

Who knew a sweet potatoe weevil could be so cute?

This is surely one of the cutest picture books to come out this year. Ten one-of-a-kind bugs count down to bedtime. "Ten little sleepyheads talking to their toys. One falls asleep in the middle of the noise." As you might guess, another sleepy bug falls asleep on each page. What you might not guess is the sweetly gentle ending, "Is he asleep? No? Well, here we go again!" offering another read-through to the child who doesn't fall asleep the first time. The inside cover pictures the comic sleepyhead bugs and the actual insects the artist used for inspiration, like a sweet potato weevil, a bush katydid, and the Southern green stink bug, all certain to garner a sleepy smile or two.
