Sleep Like a Tiger Lap Board Book

A magical bedtime story honored as a Caldecott Honor Book. In sincere and imaginative dialogue between a child and her kind and understanding parents the little girl decides in a cocoon of sheets a nest of blankets she is ready to sleep warm and strong just like a tiger. The lyrical narrative echoes a Runaway Bunnylike cadence: Does everything in the world go to sleep? the little girl asks. Artist Pamela Zagarenskis rich luminous mixed-media paintings effervesce with charming details that non-yet-sleepy children can examine for hours. A rare gem.
