Some kind of weird voodoo magic,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dr. Seuss's Sleep Book (Hardcover)
Dr Seuss' Sleep Book is amazing. I picked up a copy when my oldest child was about two years old, and it has always held her attention until she drifted off to sleep. My daughter is six now and, along with her two younger siblings, still loves this book.Our favorite character is Snorter McPhail. The kids say he reminds them of their father... while I agree that he does bear a resemblance to my husband, I think I just like the concept of Snorter wearing a large bucket on his head, conducting a snoring orchestra - the "snore-a-snort band" - in a cave way out of town, all while he is asleep. This book has some kind of weird voodoo magic that really does put kids (and sometimes grownups) to sleep. In the years that I've been reading the story to my children, they have almost never made it through the entire book before drifting off, and the few times they have made it through awake, they're extremely drowsy by the end. Dr. Seuss' Sleep Book has been read so often that the binding is starting to come loose, but we'll just keep reading it until it falls apart, then buy another copy.

Can it get any better?,

This review is from: Dr. Seuss's Sleep Book (Hardcover)
I have not read all the Seuss books yet, but this book is a huge classic for me.Each page is another world to enter into and dream about. There is almost no plot, just one crazy, engrossing scene after another. Not a great read-to book because your kid misses the visuals - but an amazing read-with book. I have just read the copy from my youth, 30+ yrs ago, alongside my 3 and 5 yr old girls (in bed, as the book tells us to do) and they did not fidget once. 'Sleep' reminds me of the excellent 'Starbright' books that put images and scenes into the child's imagination. Those books are word only, this is basically pictures.

A family tradition....,

This review is from: Dr. Seuss's Sleep Book (Hardcover)
I started reading this book to my litle brother in the late 60's, then to my own daughters in the late 70's. I still have that copy that my daughters "bathed" (so no more cover) but I have since bought myself a new copy (for reading to visiting children), and a copy for each of my daughters when they had their babies. I have most of it memorized after all these years and love it dearly - no other children's book has made such an impression on me (well, "Free to Be You and Me" was close) or had the staying power over the decades. The book is brilliant in its use of increasingly dark backgrounds as the story progresses and it's impossible not to find yourself yawning by the end! I've read a lot of Dr. Seuss books but this is my favourite, no question.
