Bedtime often seems to come too early, but what would happen if you never went to sleep? When scientists decided to find out, they discovered that your brain needs a rest after a long day of thinking, just as your muscles would need a rest after a long day of work.
A different kind of bedtime story, this book is the perfect response to the question ‘Can’t I stay up a little longer?’

Review by MMD for Sleep Is for Everyone (Let’s-Read-and-Find-Out Science 1)

This is a brilliant book. I purchased it when my 2.5 year old son was refusing to sleep to try to explain to him that everyone sleeps, and why everyone sleeps. I could relate the facts in the book to things he understood, including when Caroline (a character in the book) goes to sleep and how she gets cranky when she doesn’t get her nap. Thereafter he would say he needed his sleep so that he wasnt cranky like Caroline! He loves reading the book before nap and bed time – and the last few pages about drifting off to sleep help him unwind and relax ready for his own sleep. I also learnt a few things from this book – who knew that chickens eyelids go up, or that snakes have no eyelids!

I started reading this to my daughter when she was 2 yrs old. This book gets 3 stars from me, because it is good, but has a few flaws. I believe the overall aim of the book was to discuss sleep and its importance in a way kids can understand. It generally accomplished that, though I had to simplify some of the language for a 2 yr old. The flaws are:

-Some of the illustrations are a little odd–not disturbing images or anything, but not particularly attractive either. There are just a few pages like this.

-Near the end, it mentions that the little girl is tired and “throws things” and the mom yells at her. I think this is inappropriate for my daughter and edit it as I’m reading. It’s not so much a problem for me, but when others read this book to her (my husband, my mom, baby-sitters, etc.), I don’t think to tell them to edit it. Now she’s 3.5 yrs old and would ask even more questions about that than when she was 2, so it would be great if the book had been edited a little differently . . .

In conclusion, it’s a fine book–not one we read every week, but it is still in rotation 1.5 yrs after having purchased it.
