Just adorable. Sea otters hold hands while they sleep, too cute!!

I think this book is adorable but my toddler has had a much harder time getting into it. I don't know if it's the size of the book and the fact that the binding makes it hard to open or what. The pictures are cute pastel illustrations. The poems for each animal are very short and sometimes a little cumbersome, but pretty cute.

Diane Muldrow has done it again, another little golden book hit. This super sweet and super simple easy read will have the little ones saying, "again, again". Cute little illustrations of little baby animals taking naps. Enjoyable read that hopefully, will put the little ones to sleep.
