When I'm Sleepy
by Jane R. Howard
Book Description
When you start to yawn...and yawn...do you sometimes wish you could curl up like a kitten in a basket, or a bird in a downy nest? Could you sleep standing up like a giraffe, or hanging upside-down like a bat? Little ones will love snuggling up with this soothing bedtime story and imagining how it would feel to sleep like their favorite animals-in the comfort of their own beds.
"Warm and comforting.... A nice addition to bedtime story collections." -School Library Journal --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Ages 1-5. Now available in a large, sturdy board book edition, this enchanting bedtime story will soothe and beguile children and adults alike. As a little girl wonders what it would be like to sleep like animals do--curled up in a basket, or hanging upside down, or lying in a hollow log--the carefully detailed pictures show her peacefully slumbering as she rests on a cat's warm fur, hangs companionably next to a bat, and is lovingly held by a raccoon. Although many of the pictures are funny, the overall atmosphere of the book is tender, dreamy and (yawn) very soporific.
