Description
Can You Put Me to Bed? is an adorably sweet, interactive picture book about bedtime that provides endless fun.
Can you convince this sleepy sloth it's time for bed? In this playful story, an adorable but stubborn sloth insists she's not tired enough to say goodnight! Following the sloth's bedtime routine, children and families will delight in the interactive experience they'll want to read again and again.
You could try singing a lullaby, clapping off the lights, or tapping the book to help this little sloth fall asleep in this fun goodnight read aloud, but she promises it won't work. She's still...not...sleepy...
Readers of Don't Push the Button and Press Here will love this cute, interactive story perfect for bedtime!
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Can You Put Me to Bed? by Erin Guendelsberger is appreciated for its role-reversal concept, where children enjoy being the caretaker of a non-cooperative creature. The unusual perspective and interactive nature, likened to Hervé Tullet's works, make it a comforting and engaging bedtime story for young readers.
