Customer Reviews

the perfect bedtime book

There's something about the text that just makes my son sleepy! And no matter who reads it, he is either out or well on his way by the end of the book. The only problem I have with the book is that my son always questions the illustrations, which mingle the tigers from the zoo with the boy's bedtime routine. So, for example, my son always wants to know why there is a tiger cub in the bathroom when the kid's mom is brushing her teeth. But if you don't mind stopping the story to explain (on every page) why there is a tiger cub in the house than this is the ultimate bedtime book.

Sweet Book

I like this book. It's about a father and son, so definitely not for a little girl. I thought it was a very warm cuddly book.

Dad & Son bonding time

My husband and our little boy read this at night before bedtime. The little one loves it and so does his daddy. :-)

It's all about imagrey!

Wow! This book may be a book to read for many years. Superbly written and the illustrations are awesome. There is more than the read story as in there is also an implied story. Happy reading!

Great book for fathers and sons

I am really impressed by this book. Many writers focus on the relationship between a mother and her children. It was nice for someone to include fathers. Me and my sons have really enjoyed reading this book.
