How Do You Go to Sleep?

“Writing in cadenced, lulling rhyme, McMullan compares animal sleeping habits to those of various children, inviting readers to ponder their own slumbering style.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Young readers will want to cuddle up with the cozy animal babies and may chuckle as the kids try out the different sleeping methods…. A bedtime book that will soothe and please.” —School Library Journal

“A dozen animals are introduced before the text turns to the variety of ways in which human children actually sleep, culminating in a sweet wind-down to cuddles and snores.” —Booklist
