ISBN 1878624393 - Hardly conducive to sleep! But cute anyway. No child I've ever known will fall asleep easily after this book - it'll have him or her up, listening for sounds! Still, as an after-nap story, it's adorable - maybe even a chance to find out how your little one interprets the noises they hear as they go to sleep.
Benjy has a hard time falling asleep because the sounds around him drive his imagination wild. A dripping faucet is an elephant in the tub, and a garbage truck is a landing spacecraft, among others. (If they're young enough, they won't even ask about a garbage truck picking up garbage at bedtime!) Benjy's Mom, of course, knows what's keeping him awake and comes to tuck him in and send him off to sleep.
The copy I've got is fully-colored, so don't buy it based on the idea of coloring it in (which some reviews have mentioned). Buy it because every kid wants to know that they're not the only one who's heard a round-up going on in their living room at night.
