by Carol Roth
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
My first impression upon seeing the opening pages was that this book looks like one of the old storybook series I had as a kid; like the Bernstein Bears or Teddy goes to wherever books. I absolutely love the traditional illustrations! Then we get into the story and it's lovely! Perfect amounts of text per page, a wonderful rhythm to it that makes it easy to read (and no big words to stumble over).
Words are good, illustrations are good; this is going well! Only one last thing to make sure is suitable for a children's book: the plot or purpose of the story. Our poor little lead character, a bunny, is having trouble sleeping alone. So he tries to go to some friends houses to sleep but finds them a little less than ideal. Between quills prickling him, snoring bears, and a stinky skunk; our bunny decides that home, all alone, in his big bed is the best place for him!
Perfect for the transition to a 'big kid' bed for your toddler. Or for any child having trouble staying in their room or on their own bed. I would recommend this one in a heartbeat to anyone raising an only child, or an anxious kiddo when it comes to sleeping. It's perfect in just about every way; just like bunnies bed!
Please note: I received an eARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. This is an honest and unbiased review.
