Sabrina
This book was really cute. I would suggest it for a younger audience. The picture were very bright and texturedand had mny shapes incorporated in them. You could use this book for a math lesson as well. This would be a great book to read as an "activating strategy" for a unit on animals.

This is a nice little book about a large variety of animals on a fantasy farm getting ready for bed. The lighthearted verse offers up the idea that animal families aren't much different from our own. Everyone likes a nice warm sleeping spot and a kiss goodnight from Mama.

The animals all go to bed at different times and with many different routines and stall tactics. Some of these things may be like bedtime at your home too!
Melissa
This might be a fun way to introduce time to little ones. With each hour that an animal went to sleep, one of the children changed our clock to match the time.
Craig
This is one of our daughter's current favorites. The pictures of baby rabbits in footie pajamas just might be the cutest thing ever.
Paula

Rhyming text describes how different animal mothers and fathers get their young ones ready for bed on the farm.

While this is a nice bedtime book, Chicken Butt remains my favorite Erica Perl title, forever and all-time.

Could be utilized in so many different ways. From counting shapes for a math lesson, to teaching time this colorful book is good for all.
Shelli
Fun bedtime story about animals on a farm and their very different bed time routines.

I like the unruly hamsters. Henry likes how the chicks wear nightcaps to bed.

Really cute book although I find it to be a little long.
