Bedtime stories are one of the best ways a parent can help get their baby settled in for the night and ready to drift off to sleep. Finding the right book, though, can be difficult. Some stories will end up sending little ones into the world of nightmares instead of sweet dreams, and others will do everything but help an active little body unwind for the night.

Perfect for babies and toddlers , Are you Sleeping little One? takes us into the world of you and me and a whole lot of animals and their sleeping habits . This is a cute story and easy to read with approx 10-20 words per page, the book can also be read as an interactive tale with the children by asking them to make the sounds of the different animals or saying Goodnight to them as they all tuck into bed to go to sleep.

This board book, that is set to be published in August of 2012, is meant to show children how different animals go to sleep. The illustrations, done by Andreas Nemet, are beautiful yet simple, which I think is important for a book you are reading to a child at bedtime. You don't want to overstimulate them with too many colors and too many details before tucking them in. Are You Sleeping Little One? shows common animals along with not so common animals like sloths and flamingos. This is a book I...more
I'm rating this as "I liked it" and let me tell you why.
This is a cute, somewhat rhyming, (see below), bedtime story about animals and how they may sleep.
However, I'm not sure how "sloth" and "both" rhyme.
And the phrasing of at least one sentence didn't flow as well. For instance, with the page that had the flamingo, I would have preferred the word "the" between "under" and "soft".
But really, if you're thinking of it with a child's perspective, I think the book would be enjoyable.

Are You Sleeping Little One?
A very very cute bedtime book that shows little ones the sleep patterns of several familiar animals (and some, that may be unfamiliar ones as well). Mom animals along with their babies fill the pages. Cute rhyming phrases, as well as pleasing colorful artwork, make this a perfect choice to read at bedtime to your little one. It's one that may become a new favorite with little ones at bedtime.

My 3 year old loved it. We had to read it 5 times before he finally let me finish. It was cute and gave him views of lots of animals plus the babies names. It was so cute he corrected me a couple times because he did not know the baby animals name (example Joey not Kangaroo). Thank you net galley for the advance copy definitely will have to buy it.
Nice illustrations and a good variety of animals (sloth, crab, flamingo, snake, mole). But the text is just fair, doesn't always scan, and the rhymes force some lines that are awkward or don't quite make sense. (Are you sleeping, little crab / Shutting claws--not ready to grab)
My thanks to the publishers, who were so kind to provide a copy via netgalley.
I think it is a great good night story book for the little ones with beautiful pictures.
