A beautifully illustrated and engaging ABC book for children that makes bedtime easier for everyone
From “A is for Awake” to “Zzzz...” this whimsical interactive ABC book helps children wind down before bed and fall asleep. Prompts to ask one final question, encour-agement to say goodbye to the sun, and details about animals and their sleep habits make this an engaging and useful book that kids will ask for again and again. Each page features a different letter of the alphabet: on some nights kids will make it all the way to “Yaren” where Naru children are beginning their day instead of ending it, while on other nights they will nod off at “Hibernate.” Young readers learn and, more importantly, doze off, making this a particularly covetable title for children and parents alike.

PreS-Gr 1—This book offers proof that getting to sleep doesn't have to be dull. This anything-but-boring read will delight little ones and will have them yawning in no time as they practice sounds and letters. How many letters will you get through before you nod off? "C is for Cat: Can you curl up and purr like a little cat? Isn't it cosy?" "R is for Roll: Really wriggly kids roll around in bed. Stay tucked in and sleep tight!" "Y is for Yawn: Open your mouth as wide as you can. Breathe in slowly. And out again. And again...(was that a yawn?)" Each letter and its accompanying concept unfolds, offering opportunities for reader interaction. Each page reveals a letter and a silly, sleepy vignette to persuade kids to nod off; the meditative, poetic nature of the text pairs perfectly with the minimalistic, graphical, yet bright and captivating visual elements. Vividly composed illustrations, with rich detail and plentiful patterns, pop off each page. Readers may also reminisce about Margaret Wise Brown's Sleepy ABC. VERDICT Early literacy advocates and children alike will dream sweetly after enjoying this interactive book as a group or as a one-on-one nighttime story.—Natalie Braham, Denver Public Library
