Jill Murphy Long
Sourcebooks, Inc., 2002
Napping wisdom
It is a book as beautiful and relaxing to look through as it is to read. And it is not only for women, as men today also need reminders to restore ourselves! Jill thankfully reminds us busy people of the simplicity of napping.

Where is My Bennie?5 reviews
April Robins, Celeste Robins, ...
AuthorHouse, 2007
Great bedtime story
I read this to the grand son at bedtime and he started repeating the line "where is my bennie?" every time I finished one of the search areas. He really liked it. This a good book to read at bed time.

The No-Cry Sleep Solution for Toddlers and Preschoolers: Gentle Ways to Stop Bedtime Battles and Improve Your ...51 reviews
Elizabeth Pantley
McGraw-Hill, 2005
From breastfeeding 10 times a night - to sweet sleep!
I can remember not that long ago sitting in my daughter's room in the middle of the night thinking I must be the only mum in the world whose baby didn't sleep. I was lucky to get three hours sleep on any given night, and never three hours in a row. But thanks to Elizabeth Pantley and her book "the no-cry sleep solution for toddlers and preschoolers" my little girl Milla has gone from a baby who ...

Sellers Publishing
Sellers Publishing, 2003
Delightful gift idea for any cat lover!

All the photos are beautifully shot. Each is accompanied by a quote related to sleep, relaxation, etc. Some of the quotes are actually cat-related, and others are applicable to life in general, but each ...

The Same Phrase Describes My Marriage and My Breasts: Before the Kids, They Used to Be Such a Cute Couple ...11 reviews
Amy Krouse Rosenthal
Andrews McMeel Publishing, 1999
Not just for moms...
I bought this book for my wife for Christmas. By the time I wrapped it, I had read the whole thing. I'd pick it up, read a little, laugh a lot, put it down and do other things. I kept coming back to it and eventually I found I had finished it. Rosenthal's notes are dead on and she writes with a style that makes the most mundane things humorous. Sort of a Seinfeld for parents, except as ...

The Little Red Hen (Little Golden Book)9 reviews
Golden Books, 2001
Teaching your child about the value of work
I'm surprised anyone still reads this. It is about the value of working and teaches the lesson that those who don't work should not share in the efforts of those who do work. If the major media and the federal government find out that people are still reading this you can expect it to be attacked or banned.

Nikki McClure
Sasquatch Books, 2006
My daughter loves this book!
I bought this book because I am a fan of Nikki McClure's art. I attempt to purchase her calendar every year but sometimes I'm too slow and miss it This year I got smart and ordered it a couple of months ago along with this book.
I was expecting the book to be more for me, however, my 1 year old adores it. She signs "again" when we're done reading and I have to start over again, and again... ...

Baby Danced the Polka (Ala Notable Children's Books. Younger Readers (Awards))24 reviews
Karen Beaumont
Dial, 2004
One of Our Favorites
I'm a children's librarian, so I come across a lot of books and very few stand up to many readings. This book is one of them. It's fun for the parents to read aloud, with a rolicking beat and humorous story. We've owned this book since my son's first birthday. He loved it then and at eighteen months, it is still one of his favorites. The illustrations are simple and pleasing with enough ...

Guess Who Didn't Take A Nap? (Baby Blues Scrapbook No 3)3 reviews
Rick Kirkman, Jerry Scott
Andrews McMeel Publishing, 1993
A must for any new or about to be new parents!
What a great book! If you thought "What to expect when your expecting" was telling you everything, THINK AGAIN! Every cartoon has something for the new (or old) parent. I laughed so hard when reading this book, it actually started my labor. The antics of Zoe really prepared me for my own child, and I enjoy every one of the Baby Blues books over and over as my child grows. When I feel that ...

comments from anthony "dante" willis
from the beginning of the "roomie do me blues", i cried until i laughed myself silly, the rather bizarre chain of events that occurred in the lives of ian and dante were nostalgic, therapeutic and quite enlightening. underlying the trials and tribulations of the main characters was a very deep and spiritual message that caused me to look into myself, but also see others; friends, ...

Rabbit's Nap (Tales from Acorn Wood)2 reviews
Julia Donaldson
Macmillan Children's Books, 2003
love it!
My 18 month old twins adore this story and bring it to me to read to them regularly. I think the fact that it is about a familiar subject, naps, and how the rabbit has a hard time finding a quiet place to take a nap relates to them. The words are simple and rhyme and the flaps enhance the reading experience. We have many of this author's books and this is a favorite.

In this book Mickey is going to take a nap and is deciding what to sleep with. He thinks about his blocks, but they are too hard; or his duck, but it is too wet. In this work, children are encouraged to think about ...

Sleepy Little Mouse2 reviews
Eugenie Fernandes
Kids Can Press, Ltd., 2000
Great Book
We love this book, with it's great illustrations it is one of our favorites. A nice little story about not wanting to go to bed. I use it a lot before naptime, and try to equate the adventures the mouse has with dreaming and/or being imaginative while my two 1/2 year old is in her bed. I love the mouse tears and the creatures in the sea are delightful.

We love this book!
I checked out this book from the library about 5 years ago for my (then) 3 year old daughter. We loved it! We've never forgotten about the story, although we couldn't remember the title. I was so delighted to find it again just now! It was so imaginatively written; I would take the words of the song written in the book and make up my own tune. It's really an interactive story a mom can have alot ...
