About this item
What better way to put a little one to sleep than with a soothing rhyme and image after image of sleeping animals? This gentle board book introduces the sleeping habits of many animals - from puppies to sloths to whales - and compares them to the sometimes-unusual habits of human babies. In backpacks, on knees, in cradles or trees, sweet babies can sleep anywhere!
