BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH 

Page by page, the animals of Sleepy Hill bed down for the night. 

Le’s palette moves from day time brights to the dreamy purples and blues of twilight. But even better – each page is Cutout and shaped – including the cover – so that you can see all the way through to the back! I wouldn’t let the littlest readers handle this on their own, but 4 and up are certainly able. But, really, this needs to be read together at bedtime, cuddling on the covers!
