From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2–In this rhyming time-for-bed tale, a cat plays the role of adult and a teddy bear becomes the resistant youngster. With teeth brushed and story read, Sleepyhead is ready to be tucked in, but the bear procrastinates with pleas for one more book, cuddle, kiss, etc. Open picture books scattered across the floor and the images on a quilt provide inspiration for imaginary visual adventures as the youngster continues to put off the inevitable. Sleepyhead calls for One more drink while riding the waves on the back of a swordfish and One more blanky while floating on ice floes with penguins and walruses. Segal's stylized watercolor illustrations play with size to great effect. A close-up of Sleepyhead requesting One more hug with outstretched arms spans two pages. The fonts are appropriately small for the patient kitten's soothing phrases, We've kissed our kiss, your quilt is spread, and grow larger for the Go to sleep directives. Children will relish the playful bedtime rituals. Expect requests for this book to be read one more time.–Linda Ludke, London Public Library, Ontario, Canada
