Are You Sleeping Little One?

My 11 month old found this in the baby bin at the library and loved it so much that we had to buy a copy. I ready it to her everyday before naptime and at bedtime. The pictures are beautiful and the rhymes are very soothing.

The book is written in lyrical rhyme with cute, brightly colored illustrations of baby animals being put to bed. The author educates small children with the sleeping habits of animals they are familiar with, such as puppies and ducklings. The book also includes several animals cuddling with their mothers that small children might not even be aware of such as moles, sloths and pink flamingos. The illustrations show baby bats sleeping upside down, a joey in their maternal kangaroo pouch and a little fish sleeping with eyes open while swimming alongside its mother. Giraffes are displayed with intertwined necks and the baby bees are honeycombed. My favorite illustration was the caterpillars asleep in their peapods.Excerpt from the book: "Are you sleeping, little caterpillar? Crawling in a peapod after dinner?"I recommend this book for parents of toddlers and small children.ARC courtesy of the author and publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.<br/><br/><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/33210595-peggy-geiger">View all my reviews</a>

Lately, he has been asking to go see them because he is fascinated with their loooong necks. This was a perfect fast night time reading book.

Are you Sleeping Little One by Hans-Christian Schmidt and Cynthia Vance* I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*This was a sweet little bedtime story that is full of mommy and baby animals getting ready for bed. The animals are shown in their natural environment and include everything from a puppy to bees in a honeycomb. They are all cuddling with their moms getting ready for bed.The story has a great rhyming flow to it and the pages are beautifully illustrated. They are bright and colorful with each animal in their own environment. The story seems to be geared for younger children between the ages of 1 and 3, I think any older might lose interest easily.Overall, Lilly and I enjoyed Are You Sleeping Little One and give it 4 stars.
