Beautiful Books: Sleepy, Oh, So Sleepy

Looking for the perfect book(s) for children for Christmas?  Every Sunday, we will be featuring a book that received 5 stars at Beautiful Books for Children.  Hopefully these reviews from a fellow mom will help you pick the right books for your children!

This week’s book is:

Sleepy, Oh, So Sleepy – by Denise Fleming

I dare your child to stay awake after you read this story to them. That is, if you haven’t drifted off first. It is not that this book is boring. But the rhythm of the words is so hypnotic, lovely, calming, and almost meditative, that lids droop more at each page. The beautiful illustrations are a final touch, making everything right with the world, and everyone ready to snuggle down to sleep.
