Book Reviews of Dr Seuss's Sleep Book
Book Review: One of Dr. Seuss' Best
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is hilarious and fun to read. Each page is more surprising and unexpected than the next. (The goose who dreams about goose juice, and the moose who dreams about moose juice; they have to be careful to avoid mixing up their dreams -- How in the world did Dr. Seuss come up with this?)
This is a great bedtime book, but there are two problems. First, I have trouble not laughing. (OK, I admit it, I laugh on every page while reading to my 3-1/2 year old. He starts laughing and the whole bedtime story thing degenerates.) Second, this is a long book. We don't finish it before my son gets sleepy. As of yet, we haven't made it to the end.
Book Review: Can it get any better?
Summary: 5 Stars
I have not read all the Seuss books yet, but this book is a huge classic for me.Each page is another world to enter into and dream about.
There is almost no plot, just one crazy, engrossing scene after another.
Not a great read-to book because your kid misses the visuals - but an amazing read-with book.
I have just read the copy from my youth, 30+ yrs ago, alongside my 3 and 5 yr old girls (in bed, as the book tells us to do) and they did not fidget once.
'Sleep' reminds me of the excellent 'Starbright' books that put images and scenes into the child's imagination. Those books are word only, this is basically pictures.
Book Review: A Yawn is quite catching, you see, like a cough.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fun bedtime book, starting with a little bug who yawns so wide you can look down his neck, and showing the yawn spreading throughout the land, and then everyone getting ready for bed and going to sleep, and other related sleepy trivia. The rythm is sleep, and yawn inducing. I honestly can't get through this book without yawning about every page. But, since a yawn is catching, my little ones are soon yawning so wide you can look down thier necks! This is an excellent book to have as a part of your sleepytime routine for your child. Dr. Seuss certainly had a gift for silly, poetic stories which children all seem to love.
Book Review: Works everytime for my little insomniac!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was never exposed to Dr Seuss as a child, so I want to start a collection with my one year old girl. I ran across The Sleep Book in the library. I usually have to read her at least 3 "sleep" books (among other rituals) before she even begins to feel drowsy. I only need to read halfway through the Sleep Book before she's out for the count. Even though she doesn't understand the words, she understands the rhythm that is so sleep inducing. I like to help the process by starting slow and quiet until I'm whispering as the characters are all asleep. I had to return the book so I desperately need to buy one to keep... ASAP!Book Review: His best, far and away!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is easily the best one he ever wrote. The rhymes and rhythms are bouncy and fun, and they gently slow down as you go, so that by the time you're near the end, your heart beat has slowed and so has your breathing. It's designed to get kids ready to fall asleep, even if they start out filled with energy- but it's still got all the silly and zany imagination of all his other works. Some of my favorite of his creations are in this- the goose juice and moose juice, and several others that are hard to spell but easy to pronounce.
Hold your kid as you read this and good dreams will follow close behind!
