Sleep Like a Tiger by Mary Logue
This book tells the story of a
little girl who does not want to go to bed and tells her parents she is nto
tired. Her parents are very clever and
say that it is fine that she is not tired but step by step ask her to do the
things she needs to do to get ready, like put on pajamas and get into bed. The little girl asks her parents if different
animals big (like a whale) and small (like a snail) go to sleep. This is a Caldecott Honors winning book and
the illustrations are beautiful. The colors are vibrant and there is a great
attention to detail in each of the pages.
This book sets a very calm and
mellow tone which is perfect for quiet (especially good night) times and
addresses the stalling tactics many children employ with parents and
caregivers. The questions that the little
girl asks are ones which could spark interests and discussion.
