ABZZZZ…: A Bedtime Alphabet

PreS-Gr 1—This book offers proof that getting to sleep doesn't have to be dull. This anything-but-boring read will delight little ones and will have them yawning in no time as they practice sounds and letters. How many letters will you get through before you nod off? "C is for Cat: Can you curl up and purr like a little cat? Isn't it cosy?" "R is for Roll: Really wriggly kids roll around in bed. Stay tucked in and sleep tight!" "Y is for Yawn: Open your mouth as wide as you can. Breathe in slowly. And out again. And again…(was that a yawn?)" Each letter and its accompanying concept unfolds, offering opportunities for reader interaction. Each page reveals a letter and a silly, sleepy vignette to persuade kids to nod off; the meditative, poetic nature of the text pairs perfectly with the minimalistic, graphical, yet bright and captivating visual elements. Vividly composed illustrations, with rich detail and plentiful patterns, pop off each page. Readers may also reminisce about Margaret Wise Brown's Sleepy ABC.
