PreS-Gr 3— Simple rhymes bring to life the completely sleepless life of a mother in a humorous way. From drinking cold coffee ("Is she scared to drink it hot?") to growling tummies and gassy behinds, this book laments all the reasons why mommies probably are not sleeping from the point of view of a child. Howard highlights just how magical the small moments are for the child, while Obuhanych's fun illustrations mimic a painterly palette mixed with colored pencil sketching and bring bright, vivid life to the tired mother. VERDICT This fantastic story for families, for tired mothers, and for curious children is a great addition to any school or personal library.— Jessica Clark

THE PERFECT GIFT FOR NEW MOMS! Figure out what's keeping Mommy up all night in this funny rhyming story told from baby's point of view.

Mommy looks SO tired. I’ll show her bedtime’s fun! There’s lots of tricks to get to sleep. I’LL TEACH HER HOW IT’S DONE!

Baby can't help but wonder why Mommy never gets any sleep. Maybe Mommy doesn’t sleep because she lost her paci? Or she’s really hungry—or maybe she’s too gassy? Could the reason be not such a big mystery after all? But baby also has some wise and witty advice for all those mommies who never rest...

This funny tribute to the exhausting work of raising an infant, cleverly told from the baby’s point of view, provides plenty of much-needed laughs for all those sleepless nights (and days)!
