Summary: Its sleepy time!
Review: Kids today aren't getting enough sleep. It is obvious when you look at the number of children who are being labeled as having ADD or ADHD, when all they really need is more sleep. If you are a parent of a young child, I highly recommend this book, not just for your child(ren) but for parents too. Its important for parents and children to understand how sleep, or lack of sleep affects the body and more importantly, the mind. Remmy and Dr. Zeez help children to understand why they need to get their sleep and how they can benefit from getting 9 hours of GOOD sleep every night. I'm all ready reading this with my 6 week old daughter. The play along CD which accompanies the book is a great bonus which I find relaxes me as well as my daughter as it is played. Enjoy some good rest...you and your child(ren) deserve it!

Summary: And poetry to boot!
Review: Maas does a fine job in explaining to children why it's important to sleep. He writes in rhyme, and the colorful funny pictures add to the entertainment.For adults, I give my strongest recommendation for Dr. William Dement's The Promise of Sleep. Stanford sleep researcher Dement covers everything from sleep pathology, dreams, and how sleep-load even affects your intelligence and internal organs. If you love a medical detective story, or just want help in physically feeling better, go check it out!

Summary: Vividly shows the benefits of a full night's sleep
Review: Remmy And The Brain Train is a unique and very highly recommended picturebook about Remmy, a young boy who feels groggy, moody, and has trouble in school - until he goes on a magical train to the Land of Good Sleep, and learns how developing good sleep habits makes him smarter, stronger, happier, and healthier. The rhyming text by James B. Maas is surrounded by playful, colored-pencil style illustrations by Guy Danella that vividly show the benefits of a full night's sleep. Remmy and the Brain Train also comes with a bonus: a read-along, sing-along CD by award-winning children's songwriter & performer Suzanne Scheniman, with lots of whimsical sound effects. Remmy And The Brain Train is a perfect naptime or bedtime storybook.

Review: Remmy and the Brain Train is a wonderfully illustrated and informative book on the need for children to get enough sleep. The song was also good. Dr. Z and all of the chacteracters in the book were friendly and had a wonderful message.

Summary: Smart and charming!
Review: This is a delightful book! Dr. Maas weaves his expertise about good sleep habits into a story to which we can all relate, using rythm and rhyme that my five-year-old daughter loves. The illustrations are amusing and the sing-along CD is catchy, making this a book for her to enjoy on her own in between our "storytimes". Thank you for offering a fun, intelligent and applicable book!
