Shake myself awake again to tell my sleepy view... of Dr. Seuss's Sleep Book, a childhood favorite that has survived all the insomniac years of growing up and turning a bit more vintage. So many of my childhood books have vanished somewhere along that winding time-route... somewhere on those many travels and address changes, moved from one previous life to another former life to another life begun today. Lost, but for this one. And when a family pet took a toothy chomp along the binding, no matter, I had to buy another. Children's book? Ah, for the child in all of us! For we all sleep, and we all dream. The first stretchy yawn is as delicious as the final one, and the overall feel of this Seussian masterpiece is cozy, and warm, and comforting. I remember well my fascination with the unique characters as a child, with all their quirky sleep routines. I found them fully as endearing when reading the book, over and over again, to my own children. With anticipation of grandchildren looming somewhere within the next decade... I look forward to sharing these cozy yawns with yet another generation. The book is a timeless classic. |

I'm in eighth grade, and my English teacher had us all read a Dr. Seuss book for his 101st birthday. I picked up Dr. Seuss's Sleep Book, wondering if it would help me, a restless dreamer, sleep at night. My hunch was right. The first page started me yawning instantly, as if the book had begun to cast a hypnotic sleep spell! By the time I reached the Mcphail band in the middle, when I had to stop at the end of class, I was yawning like a hippo! I was still drowsy when I got to gym class, almost an hour later! I curled up in a loose ball on my spot on the gym floor and very sleepily mumbled to myself, "Can I take a nap now?" I'm certain that if I'd finished, it would put me to sleep! I'm still yawning as I write this! *yawn* I'm going to get this book so I can sleep at night. As soon as I take a *yawn* little *yawn* nap... |

My 2.5 year old son doesn't usually sleep for books-in fact; before reading this book, he didn't sleep for any books at all. This one does the trick about 50% of the time, now, and he's very sleepy at the end of the book, if he isn't asleep. If your young child doesn't usually sleep for books, you should definitely try this one out. |

Dr Seuss' Sleep Book is amazing. I picked up a copy when my oldest child was about two years old, and it has always held her attention until she drifted off to sleep. My daughter is six now and, along with her two younger siblings, still loves this book. Our favorite character is Snorter McPhail. The kids say he reminds them of their father... while I agree that he does bear a resemblance to my husband, I think I just like the concept of Snorter wearing a large bucket on his head, conducting a snoring orchestra - the "snore-a-snort band" - in a cave way out of town, all while he is asleep. This book has some kind of weird voodoo magic that really does put kids (and sometimes grownups) to sleep. In the years that I've been reading the story to my children, they have almost never made it through the entire book before drifting off, and the few times they have made it through awake, they're extremely drowsy by the end. Dr. Seuss' Sleep Book has been read so often that the binding is starting to come loose, but we'll just keep reading it until it falls apart, then buy another copy. |

I have not read all the Seuss books yet, but this book is a huge classic for me. Each page is another world to enter into and dream about. There is almost no plot, just one crazy, engrossing scene after another. Not a great read-to book because your kid misses the visuals - but an amazing read-with book. I have just read the copy from my youth, 30+ yrs ago, alongside my 3 and 5 yr old girls (in bed, as the book tells us to do) and they did not fidget once. 'Sleep' reminds me of the excellent 'Starbright' books that put images and scenes into the child's imagination. Those books are word only, this is basically pictures. |

This is a fun bedtime book, starting with a little bug who yawns so wide you can look down his neck, and showing the yawn spreading throughout the land, and then everyone getting ready for bed and going to sleep, and other related sleepy trivia. The rhythm is sleep, and yawn inducing. I honestly can't get through this book without yawning about every page. But, since a yawn is catching, my little ones are soon yawning so wide you can look down their necks! This is an excellent book to have as a part of your sleepy time routine for your child. Dr. Seuss certainly had a gift for silly, poetic stories which children all seem to love. |

I was never exposed to Dr Seuss as a child, so I want to start a collection with my one year old girl. I ran across The Sleep Book in the library. I usually have to read her at least 3 "sleep" books (among other rituals) before she even begins to feel drowsy. I only need to read halfway through the Sleep Book before she's out for the count. Even though she doesn't understand the words, she understands the rhythm that is so sleep inducing. I like to help the process by starting slow and quiet until I'm whispering as the characters are all asleep. I had to return the book so I desperately need to buy one to keep... ASAP! |

My two year old son loves Dr. Suess. We were having trouble getting him to wind down and get to sleep on his own at night (and naps). First, I started reading it to him before he went to bed. After about a week I started putting him in bed and read it to him and before I knew it he was falling asleep while listening to the story! Yeah! No more tramatic scenes before bed. This way is peaceful for both of us. Now he always asks for his "sleep book" when he gets in bed! |

Everyone has heard of The Cat in the Hat, but I can't believe that so few people have been lucky enough to experience Dr. Seuss's Sleep Book. I can't think of another bedtime story that doesn't pale in comparison to this one. As a child, I read it so much that at one point actually had it memorized... To this day I can still recite most of it! "The news just came in from the County of Keck." and by the time I get to the last few lines... I'm always ready to sleep! Definitely belongs in the top ten books of all time. |

Perfect book! I read a review on this book before I purchased it and the author said their little one actually falls asleep during the book... Mine does too!! That author was right on! We love the book. We have a 27 month old, and he loves it, and almost always falls asleep before we even get 1/2 way through the book. Such a darling book! Highly, highly recommend! |
