Summary: Good night Harry
Review: Pre-K.
This lovely book by Lewis Kim is about Harry, a stuffed elephant. The author has written another Harry story called `My Friend Harry'. This book can be viewed as a sequel to that title. This is about Harry when James, Harry's owner, is not around. Harry's problem is that he cannot fell asleep. When Harry has trouble sleeping, he tries everything to make himself sleepy. He reads bedtime stories, cleans up the room, runs, and even jumps. Still unable to go to sleep, he becomes worried. His friends, Lulu, the sheep and, Ted, the teddy bear help Harry out. Finally, Harry fells fast asleep.
Done with colored pencil and pastels, Kim Lewis's illustrations are soft and dreamy. Yet they are realistic enough so they lure us to touch them to see whether we can feel Harry and other friends' fluffiness. The story is a soothing and heart warming bedtime story. It encourages sleep for everyone who reads it, even for readers who are not yet sleepy. When you finish reading this book, you might want to peek at the stuffed animals in children's room to see if those toys are talking, moving around, and making themselves busy.
I would highly recommend this book to readers in preschool to kindergarten. This charming book could make toddlers happy, too.

Summary: A SOOTHING, SWEET BEDTIME STORY
Review: Talented author/illustrator Kim Lewis proffers a soothing, sweet bedtime story that may lull even the most wide awake youngsters to sleep. Harry, the loveable plush elephant, is the focus of the tale. He's getting ready for bed with his pals Lulu and Ted. But after they clamber into bed Lulu and Ted fall fast asleep while Harry just lies there wide awake. He tries to read himself a bedtime story but that has no effect. Harry tries everything imaginable from cleaning up his room to running in place - all to no avail. Lulu and Ted are steadfast friends, and they help Harry to find his way to dreamland. Soft moonlit illustrations done in colored pencil and pastel add to this bedtime tale. - Gail Cooke
