Summary: Sam loves it!
Review: My ten month old loves this book. He is very much into exploring textures right now and loves anything touch and feel. This book is so much more than a touch and feel. The words ryhme beautifully and I love the illustrations. It's also an excellent before bed story. Fun for everyone.

Summary: It really is the perfect bedtime book!
Review: This book is just great for bedtime. The illustrations are soft and colorful and the text is easy-to-read, rhyming and repetitive. Each two-page spread shows an animal playing in the daytime. Then, when you fold-out the pages, you reveal the animal sleeping at night, with a large and soft textured area for children to touch and pet. The textured areas are soft, comforting and encourage sleepiness. As your little one pets each animal, the text on the page says things like "lay down your sleepy head...now it's time for bed" and so on. The last page shows a child playing in the park and when you open up the folded pages, the child can be tucked into bed under a soft felt blanket--the perfect exercise for bedtime. It's not just the illustrations that make this book wonderful--it's the value. It's only $9.95, but the book itself is very large and bulky (the spine is over an inch thick!) and so this is a great book to package up with a receiving blanket, baby pajamas or crib mobile for a baby shower. It is inexpensive, but beautifully done and feels very substantial. I have given copies to several friends with infants and toddlers.
