![]() ![]() ![]() The message is so woven into the interaction of the book that a child will simply find it a fun book without realizing they are being taught a MAJOR message of life! It brings physical activity up as a natural part of your day and makes sleep something that should happen naturally. Really this is a story to put little children down for naps and bedtime. as an adult you can't help grinning and a child feels like buddies are chatting with them! Then there are the die-cut pages with bits of the next page peeking past the edge!! Then there are the flaps that make the reader a part of the story! TOTALLY sucks you in and then on the last page they ask you to come back again. The way the speech bubbles are its like the cats are talking to the reader and is the first level of interaction. He so loved this book that his drawing is so, so good the only way you can tell the difference between his and the author's art is that we used different colors for the yarn!! It TOTALLY had his checked into the story. My nephew was all over that cover with it's partial dust jacket and the cats peeking over the top. Simple and evocative from the cover inwards. This book is INTERACTIVE!! The art is good. Three cats, Tiny, Moonpie, and Andre, want you to play with them as they find some yarn, boxes and pillows.
