Customer Reviews

Cannot say enough..

One cannot say enough about how wonderful Remy Charlip's books are. This book would make a wonderful "first book" for any child, boy or girl, to have. They are filled with simple yet warming verse and amazing pictures. Enjoy!!!

Wonderful story, well loved illustrations!

My 19 month old daughter loves this book, and brings it to me every night. The illustrations are fun for her to look at, and the text has us snuggling close throughout. A must for any parent who loves to hug and kiss their child!

A Simple, Loving Message

I'm in the process of adopting a baby girl from China. One of the things I so look forward to is reading to her and having a special bedtime book. A very dear friend purchased the "Sleepy Time Rhyme" for me and my future daughter in hopes that this would be what I was looking for. Well, I can't imagine a more beautiful message to send my daughter to sleep with. "Sleepy Time.." celebrates every part of the child. It's perfect for my little family because the thing I want my daughter to know as she drifts off to sleep is that, even though we are physically different from one another, I do love every part of her. It's a strong but simple message. [HINT: And it works if you sing it to "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star"]

A Favorite

My 2 and 1/2 year old loves hearing this book at bedtime. She calls it "Sleepy Time-Time". The wording is carefully loving and avoids being sappy. The illustrations in which every star, cloud, tree, house, and bird has a matched little baby are beautiful and is a real thrill for my daughter.

A Classic MUST HAVE for parents and young babies or children

A loving goodnight verse that tells the baby or child that they are loved in smple, easy-to-understand words. the rhyme would be easy to memorize with repetition, and parents would find it easy to say the rhyme anywhere with ease.it would be very comforting for a baby or young child to hear this poem before going to sleep each night.As a parent, it makes you (or anyone) feel good to read it to your child.
