In the woods, barn, and house, animals are snuggling into their cozy homes for bedtime. A pig burrows in the hay. A squirrel nestles into a hole in a tree. A cat curls up on a comfy armchair. These are some of the sleepyheads that the narrator asks the reader to find. Page by page, a different animal or bird is revealed to be falling asleep in its habitat; the sleepyheads are found “in trees, in holes, in caves” and “in weeds, in reeds, on waves.” In the house, though, one bed is empty and one sleepyhead is missing. This last sleepyhead is soon found “asleep in Mama’s arms.” Rhythmic, rhyming verses are matched by simple yet detailed illustrations of nighttime in this calm and comforting book. (Ages 2–5)

Both spirited and soothing, this bedtime read-aloud story is the perfect preface for a trip to dreamland.

The sun has set, and sleepyheads all across the land are tucked into their cozy beds.
Rabbit is snoozing in the weeds, and Duck is snuggled in the reeds.
Bear is nestled in his cave, and Otter is rocking on a wave.
But there’s one little sleepyhead who’s not in his bed.
Where, oh where, could he be?

This sweet, snuggly, and silly bedtime book with irresistible illustrations is sure to prepare little ones for a cozy night’s sleep.
