review 1: Mouse can’t sleep. His animal friends each try something different to help him fall asleep, but nothing works until Bat picks up a twig and conducts a cricketing chorus, an animal orchestra, that lulls him to sleep. Inner rhyme and alliterative action verbs abound (“lazy dazing, lulling, lounging”, “tripping, skipping, tired tumbling”). Teachers may choose to use this during units on nocturnal animals, but this book is ideal for parent-child bedtime sharing.
review 2: It's time for bed, but Mouse just can't fall asleep. It will take a forest full of animals and plenty of effort to coax him to sleep. Young readers will adore to his friends looking for a fluffy pillow or the right amount of fresh air or light. In the end, a lullaby or two is all it take... mores. Filled with illustrations created with watercolors, pastels, and colored pencil and then completed digitally, this picture book is a fine choice for a bedtime read aloud. Adult readers will also be able to relate to the frustration of needing to sleep but not being able to fall asleep. less
