BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: SEVERAL
Follow one very tired family with one very wide-awake baby over the course of a night when the baby decides to stay awake forever. With equal parts humor and sympathy, the author perfectly captures those early sleepless nights with new babies.
I picked this book because I have some friends that are currently in this stage of life, and wanted to get a peek inside their world. Even though I don’t have kids, I still enjoyed the story and I particularly loved the illustrations. I think this will be a hit for anyone with young kids, and could be used as a way to introduce older siblings to the changes that new babies bring to a family. It could find traction in an elementary library, but I see it as more a family library kind of book.
