Customer Reviews

Find this book!

I see it's getting tricker to get this book, but I promise it's worth the search! We picked up a copy at a local used book store and my children (2.5 and 4.5) adore it. Super for snuggling in bed and reading together, such soothing text and charming illustrations. A real treasure. :)

Great sleepy-time book

This is a *magic* book--whether reading or listening, it makes people yawn, makes them sleepy, makes eyes droopy and little heads rest against mom's shoulder. I love reading this book out loud to my kids--it is a long book (takes about 15 minutes, if you read it nice and slowly, which is part of the magic), but it really does evoke cozy, warm, cuddly feelings. Great with a cup of tea and some animal crackers before bed! I love the illustrations, which weave the words into wonderful, soothing images of all things comforting from childhood; it's fun to play "I spy" with the detailed illustrations, counting the different kinds of cookies or the number of puppies. This is one of my favorite read-aloud-books of all time!

Delightful esp. for 3-5 year olds

A must for reading out loud with your favorite toddler. One of my all-time favorite children's books, now enjoying it with my 3-year old niece. Delightful, playful and textual rhymes and illustrations that conjure up memories for parents/grandparents. And that provide opportunity to share personal favorite cozy things and people and feelings! Ann Hoberman's other title - A House is a A House for Me - will also delight you and yours.
