Sleepytime Me by Edith Hope Fine -- ADVISABLE

Fine, Edith Hope Sleepytime Me, illustrated by Christopher Denise. PICTURE BOOK. Random House, 2014. $17.99. Content: G.

All over town, it's time for bed. Farm animals are settling down to sleep, workers are heading home under street lamps, and last-minute tidying is being done. And then, finally, it is time for sleep. This comforting, sweet book is perfect for pre-bed lap reading, especially for toddlers and preschoolers, although some older children may enjoy it as well. Both the lilting text and lovely illustrations work together to lend a sense of warmth and coziness to the simple story, and many tired parents will appreciate the briefness of the text.

Pre-K, EL (K-3) -- ADVISABLE. Reviewer: Caryn
