Hilarious!
I rated this book a four because it was a really cute book. It was very funny, showing many imaginative pictures to go along with the text. But, it was centered around the mom and dad when I thought based off of the cover and title that it would be more about the child. It is definitely a book I would read to my students since it shows such great illustrations and is a fun silly book for them. It also has some rhyming in there and the ending is funny. I really did enjoy this book, I just wish it

This is a funny story about Mom trying to get some sleep when Daddy snores.
and that was the lasst time i heard my dad snore......7 years ago
We can relate! The illustrations were incredible.
This book is about a boy describing his dad's snores. He compares them to different things like a freight train, and a dinosaurs roar. His mom has to go sleep all over the place to get away from the snoring, but she can't sleep. So, she takes him to the doctor for his snoring, and he is cured! However, then he starts to talk in his sleep!

The story is about what a poor family goes through each night, during the week as daddy snores keeping the whole household awake with comical and creative scenarios. In the ending most of the problem gets almost totally resolved... The kids enjoyed this oversized book very much during preschool storytime. I took advantage of providing a short activity about days of the week & everything tied in very well.
I got this book from the library as a jab to my hubby and when I read it to the kids, I couldn't stop laughing! You see, their daddy has sleep apnea and when he doesn't have his machine, he SNORES so loud...I feel for the mom in this story, I really do! AND, weirdness...the little girl in the story, her name is Natalie! Anyhow, it was probably mostly funny to me because I've so been there already...but it got 5 stars!

I think everyone who has ever been around anyone who snores can relate to this book. I thought it was a humorous story that could be used with a lesson on sequencing. The book would also be great to read at home.
This was such a relatable book for me and it was too cute. It told the story of a little boy and his family that never got sleep because the father always snored. This book could be used in the a lesson about the days of the week and the sequence of events and how to sequence.
Highly amusing illustrations in a story which makes light of a potentially serious issue (backed up with some medical notes at the back). The sequencing of the similes seems a little arbitrary and some are less effective than others.
Great illustrations and a story that resonates (pun intended) in my household. My 5-year old really enjoys this book.
FRIGGIN' HILARIOUS!I grabbed this book more as a joke for my husband, but then chose to review it. The illustrations were just as funny and complimented the story beautifully.

a study in exaggerations about how loud his father snores and where his mother tries to sleep to avoid the noise
Love the illustrations, and the story is just giggle worthy, as my kids will tell you. Its just a good read, and the lengths mom goes to finally get some sleep is fun to watch.
This book gave me a good chuckle. At our house, it's My Mommy Snores. But Russell occasionally talks in his sleep :)

This is a very cute story. I know I can definately relate to it! Many children can relate to it as well. It is humorous, and a good book to read for fun.
Another book read at Story time! Cute!
If you have a daddy in the house that snores, this is a cute and fun book to read. I find myself chuckling through it every time I read it. Oh, how this book relates to my life!
So funny! And relatable
Great for reviewing days of the week and introducing metaphors and similes
Reminded me of my Dad

i can relate to this book because the last time my dad snored was 5 years ago!
Relatable and funny. Fun illustrations too.
Would be a great book to teach a lesson on sequencing or even the days of the week.
