MY REVIEW
I loved this book. It is a sweet story with an accompanying song to help little one get to sleep easier. The illustrations were just as sweet as the story with lovable stuffed animal friends trying to help Ben get to sleep. I am certain kids and parents alike will love reading this tender story at bedtime.

MY REVIEW
Another great book from two talented creators. I love the whimsical nature of book and the sweetness of the storyline. It is both adorable and tender, with illustrations to match. I just love how cute the characters are and how they are always trying to help each other out. This is a perfect book for bedtime reading with the rhyming text, which is perfect for a read aloud.
