You are invited to dream the impossible dream with this wonderfully unlikely crew of animals as they dispense advice to their dear insomniac friend and consider what helps you drift to slumberland. Will Turtle ever fall asleep? Will you? You should have no trouble staying awake to the end of this charming book.

Young ones can pet a fluffy duckling, play with a kitten, and even milk a cow in this barnyard menagerie that is sure to become a favorite of kids and parents alike. )

"You may think the only way to illustrate this classic nursery rhyme would be to show images of the night sky, however; Caldecott Medal winning illustrator, Jerry Pinkney, had demonstrated otherwise.  Join a chipmunk as he discovers the natural beauty of the world all around us as each illustration takes you closer to the places we see in our dreams.  Use the lyrics of this classic lullaby to cuddle up with your little one as you say goodbye to the day.

Dinosaur is going to one of his favorite places: the library! On the way, he invites his friends--a lonesome turtle, a sad owl and more-- to roar along with him. But how will his roaring go over at the library? Has Dinosaur finally met his match in Storytime?

By combining everyone's favorite feisty red dinosaur with a variety of animals and a celebration of reading, author-illustrator-designer Bob Shea has created another irresistable romp for toddlers and parents to enjoy together.
