Review
A little boy is reluctant to go to bed to take a nap but as soon as he does he goes right to sleep and misses out on all kinds of excitement. There are pirates, firemen and astronauts and lots going on but the little boy is asleep.
The pictures are in watercolor and almost like a seek and find puzzle because each picture has so much included. Children will be very engaged by all the pictures in the book and adults will find this fun to look at together.
Some of the wording was a little strange and did not seem to fit the story.
Overall Book Score: fair
