A PRECIOUS BOOK TO CUDDLE LITTLE ONES TO SLEEP! “This charming book will wrap its timeless warmth around precious little ones and cuddle them to sleep. The sweet rhymes with animal parents snuggling, playing with, and offering encouragement to their young ones creates a soothing dreamland send-off for sleepy tots. In addition to the loving rhymes, the adorable illustrations will help children and their parents smile and relax. I predict this book will be a favorite with little ones who also love Goodnight Moon. Kudos to Crystal Bowman, Teri McKinley, and Anna Kubaszewska for knocking this one out of the park.

SUCH A SWEET STORY! “I read this book with my 2 year old. As we read it, we snuggled close together. It was such a special and sweet time for us, before bedtime. My little one loved listening and looking at all the pictures and pointed out the animals. It is also such a great reminder for them that mom and dad will always be there for him, when he needs us, just like the Lord is always there for us.” (verified purchaser)
