At first I thought the pages were too busy and lively, and the 'hidden object' too small, for a bedtime book. But then I saw that, as each lamb feel asleep, the images of the lambs became somewhat quieter, the bonus image easier to see. It is too dark to read without a bright light, but for the right family it would be absolutely perfect. We would have loved it, at least during the summer when the boys had to go to bed when it was still sunny outside. ( )

This is a counting down book. It is time for bed, but the lambs want to frolic. Their frolicking is making them tired and one by one they fall asleep. Rhyming. Good words: romp, doze, sighs, whippoorwill, snores, roam, strum, scoot, swoop whoop, amble.

Genre: Fantasy; This is a good example of fantasy because the lamps and the sheep talk. The little lamps refused to go to sleep when their mothers told them, until they fell asleep on their own while playing with the rest of the lambs.

Setting: Integral: because the story could not have taken place if there was not a farm with vines, gates, roses, sticks, hives, doors, trees, canoes, and a rabbit.
