A lovely book that even taught me a lot! A great bok for kids to wind down at bedtime and satisfy curious minds.
Thanks so much to Netgalley and the publishers for letting e access this book in exchange for my feedback.
Hmmm… Called a bedtime story, this seems too bright, educational and interactive. Yes it ends with a human child tucked up nice for the night, but it shows us all the other young critters we might be interested in, and how and where they get to call it a day. Oh, and we also have to spot an orange crab that has somehow got into each and every image – we're not exactly closing down when we turn to this, surely? It's not horrendous, for the rhymed text is perfectly decent, the imagery isn't too bad at all, and the focus on the sleeping life of nature might encourage it in some of us. But such a colourful wildlife lesson last thing at night does certainly seem counter-intuitive to me.
Good to know where some of the most cute animals sleep but I wish the book were longer. Thank you Netgalley for an ARC in exchange for a review.
Do you read bedtime stories to young children? If your answer is yes, you may enjoy sharing this rhyming title with a child whom you know. The rhyming text describes where critters sleep from butterflies to squirrels and many more. The illustrations provide a lovely environment for each tired one of them. The book ends with a child in bed, right where adults want them to be at bedtime!
This title could make a nice addition to the bedtime story stash.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Kin Konnection LLC for this title. All opinions are my own.
Love the story and the writing. As the storybook is in the digital format, I feel the illustrations are a little raw. Also, the cover design can be so much better.
But what’s written in the storybook that mattered the most during the read.
Thank you, author and Kin Konnection, for the copy.
I love this book! It will be a great bedtime book to read to my grandkids. The verse is soothing and includes interesting information about animals and their homes. The illustrations are colorful , but calm and really add to the understanding of the story. It is one that will be enjoyed repeatedly..
So cute! I love an educational children's story. It does not rhyme or have cute little phrases like many kid's books. It is simple and educational. The artwork is bright and eye-catching but not too busy. Overall, I love it.
The tiny crab on each page is great. Adds a bonus for kids to have them find the crab on each page.
This is a fun little book for young children and early readers to discover the nocturnal habits of different animals. The rhyming verse is cute and there is lots to learn. My kids particularly enjoyed finding Crabby on each page. The book is colorful but the art is lacking. I think the graphics look very homemade, which isn't my preference.
Thank you to BookBuzz and NetGalley for providing me with an advance reader copy to review!
Delightful, bright and cheerful! Even as an adult, I learned some information about insects and animals sleep habits, which means that this book would be suitable for ages from 2 to 8 or older. I think this will be a book that children will ask for again and again and again. Loved the colours, the rhymes and the information!
This is my first read by this author, Kristen Lewis Haight, and I want to thank her, NetGalley and the publisher, BookBuzz for the opportunity to read this delightful children's book, and to express my opinion.

What a lovely, delightful children’s book! Its simple poetry is sure to pull young readers (or listeners) into the story and to turn to the next page. The illustrations are beautiful. It even has a little crab named Crusty that the child can find hidden in each scene. I love this book and I recommend it for youngsters.
