A beautiful story of gentle sleep

I was so delighted when my son received this book for his 2nd birthday, as was he! He has never slept anywhere else but cuddled in mama or dada's loving arms in our great family bed. I think seeing children all alone in their tiny beds on TV, in books or at friend's houses is a bit strange to him. This book is simple, gentle and beautiful. There is no "struggle" to get the children out of the parent's bed; simply the expression of love, that the children in this story know they are always welcome to seek out their parents during the night, and the joy of waking together in the morning.

One of our family's "Top Ten" children's books.

This book has been a long-time favorite in our family. Both of our children delight in the details of the illustrations as well as in the simple, dreamy story of a family who begin the night in their separate beds but awake in the morning to find themselves all snuggled together in one bed. As a parent, I enjoy snuggling up with a child at bedtime to read a cozy story about a family of cuddlers. What a wonderful antidote for the cultural messages that stress separating yourself from your child at night.

what a good night's sleep

How nice to see a book that beautifully reflects a loving night's sleep. After struggling with nighttime parenting, this story reassures our whole family that we can have sweet dreams.
