Book Reviews of Dr Seuss's Sleep Book
Book Review: Can't.... stop.... yawning! Can I take a nap?
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm in eighth grade, and my English teacher had us all read a Dr. Seuss book for his 101st birthday. I picked up Dr. Seuss's Sleep Book, wondering if it would help me, a restless dreamer, sleep at night. My hunch was right. The first page started me yawning instantly, as if the book had begun to cast a hypnotic sleep spell! By the time I reached the Mcphail band in the middle, when I had to stop at the end of class, I was yawning like a hippo! I was still drowsy when I got to gym class, almost an hour later! I curled up in a loose ball on my spot on the gym floor and VERY sleepily mumbled to myself, "Can I take a nap now?" I'm certain that if I'd finished, it woulda put me to sleep! I'm still yawning as I write this! *yawn* I'm going to get this book so I can sleep at night. As soon as I take a *yawn* little *yawn* nap... *snores*Book Review: This is a great book!
Summary: 5 Stars
My son received this book as a gift when he was four. I had never heard of it before. The first time I read it to my son, it seemed incredibly long, but after a couple of readings, I loved the book as much as my son does. Now I'm thrilled when I see that he has picked this book for his bedtime story. I never tire of reading about how sleepers are counted and the sleep-walking Crandalls and the salesmen with their Zizzer-Zoof seeds. And the illustrations are wonderful! The page near the end which shows a multitude of creatures asleep for the night is a favorite -- my son can look at and talk about that page for 10 minutes! I am sorry I missed out on this book growing up, but at least my son hasn't!Book Review: An Absolute Favorite for Generations!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Our copy of this book is the one I read as little girl in the late 60's (aging myself already...). It has held up beautifully but more importantly, it is a favorite in our house with our two children.
It is a longer book and takes a good 10-15 minutes to read. But it is so worth it because it sets the stage from the beginning to the end for a good night's sleep.
The characters are true Seuess genius and all have the most unique ways of falling asleep. I still have my favorite pages and creatures and love reading the wonderful tongue twisting rhymes.
It is one of the books my 6 year-old daughter picks most often to read at night.
A must have for any child!
Book Review: A wonderland for the mind of a child
Summary: 5 Stars
This delightful book is a must for all young children and parents.
Filled with wonderful characters and wonderful stories, starting with the news that `Has just come in from the County of Keck
That a very small bug by the name of Van Vleck
Is yawning so wide you can look down his neck'
It deals with a castle half way between Reno and Rome, Two very nice Foona Lagoona Baboona, and the folly of a goose and moose drinking each other's juice. It will take the little ones minds off to faraway dreamy and tranquil destinations before easing them off to sleep. It was certainly one of my childhood favourites, and one of the first books I remember.
Book Review: Definitely a Sleep Book!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is THE book to get the kids to sleep. The author generates what I call "the sleep spell" as from the start he tells the story of each character in the book getting prepared to go to sleep. It begins with a yawn and like a chain reaction, every creature in the book wants to go to bed and have a good night sleep. With such a plot, coupled with corresponding illustrations, the book works on your child's mind to fall asleep as well. However, my word of caution is that it might not work on babies because the text on each page is pretty long. Thus, their attention might get weary and become distress,wanting you to sing a lullaby instead of reading a long, winding text.
