This book makes me want to sleep. All the PJs and pillows and snuggly blankets - I was ready for bed.
The kids enjoyed this book. I think if a book uses lots of cute animals it has it made. Kids enjoy seeing cute animals. They were into this.
I learned that bats hibernate - I love bats and did not know this fact. This book is about the animals that hibernate, which some of them I didn't know - frogs. There are 'light sleepers' who are not true hibernators and are more sluggish in the winter like raccoons and skunks and then the 'deep sleepers' who are true hibernators, example being bears and groundhogs. It was an ok book. I don't get the need for the train running around, but it made it a surreal fun time so kids would know this is make believe I suppose.

The snakes have pjs. That was awesome. Hibernation facts are included. Well done.

I received this book for free in a Goodreads giveaway. Now that that's out of the way...
I know some people think this book would confuse kids about what hibernation really is like for animals, but I think to look at it that way would be to miss the point of this sweet book. This is not a non-fiction book designed to teach children about hibernation. This is a sweet story with beautiful, whimsical illustrations of animals in their pajamas, all preparing to snuggle in for the winter sleep. It may introduce the word hibernation to children, but it's just a wonderful sing-songy book to be shared a bed time, or anytime.
I think children will enjoy this one- both the words and the illustrations.

For someone that loves fantasy and science fiction and has no problem with picture books about anthropomorphic animals, I really had trouble with this one. All I could think was THIS IS NOT HOW IT WORKS! THIS IS NOT HOW ANY OF THIS WORKS! LOL!

A warm and cozy tale that beautifully explains the act of hibernation to young readers. It also includes more detailed explanations at the end of the story. You can't go wrong with cute, fuzzy animals in pajamas, though! Very endearing.
