A look at animals (humans included) and where they sleep, as all get ready to great the night for slumber. The slow pace is very lulling and relaxing which is certainly a good precursor to sleep. I was confused by the inclusion of such animals as bears and beavers as these don't qualify as farm animals. The illustrations with a heavy use of muted tones mimic dusk and approaching night, also helping to set the tone. Age: Infant-PreschoolLulling text accompanies an overlay of blue depicting animals going to sleep. Although this cannot be used as nonfiction because some of the facts are off, the pleasant meter and poetic arrangement of the text, accompanied with imaginative offerings of anything going to sleep ("somewhere a pocket sleeps in a skirt") shows it going to sleep in its right place, a slight encouragement for children that refuse to get into their bed.
Great bedtime rhyming book. Love the flow of this one! Very readable for story time.
