This book reminded me of my cat. Small sentences - great for a toddler and/or preschool read aloud. The story talks through the bedtime ritual and what Brownie and then Pearl does in their parallel actions to get ready for bed. Some cute not-typical phrasing like "body balls" when the two get cuddled up in bed. I would read this book in a toddler storytime. The story follows some aspects of a daily routine with full-page colorful interactions and a few recognizable characteristics. Preschoolers would like this book also. ( )

I nearly wept while reading this tale. It is sooo beautiful. I even tweaked my bedtime routine because of this book. Beautiful. ( )
