What better way to encourage a little one to sleep than with a soothing rhyme and image after image of sleeping animals! This gentle picture book introduces the sleeping habits of many animals—from puppies to whales—and compares them to the sometimes-unusual habits of human babies. In backpacks, on knees, in cradles or trees, sweet babies can sleep anywhere!

Baby-Toddler—A tender story that shows where different animals slumber with their young, while humorously illustrating how human babies aren't as choosy. As the title suggests (and as parents know well) babies will sleep anywhere. Using 15 different animals, including puppies, a mole, and a moose, this title showcases snappy text to complement the illustrations: "Cougars curl up in a lair." The renderings are sweet and soothing, and make for a peaceful, short bedtime story. For example, there is one line that says, "Squirrel's nutty nest is all littered with twigs." The squirrel gently tucks in two young squirrels with big oak leaves for blankets. A human dad floats in an inner tube with his son fast asleep on his chest. Accompanying this large graphic-style illustration is the refrain used throughout, "But babies can sleep anywhere." The tone is light and playful, and the one or two lines of text on most pages make this a perfect read-aloud selection. VERDICT An excellent first purchase for baby and toddler storytimes.— Robin Sofge, Prince William Public Library System, VA
