Our twins - currently 3-and-a-half - used to take ages to get to sleep. We even tried "natural" medicines like Melatonin, and while that worked great in helping them go to sleep in 15 minutes or so, we found them waking up middle of the night with left over energy from before they went to sleep.The best way seemed to be to let them fall asleep themselves, rather than forcing their bodies to do so. Falling asleep themselves meant calming down internally, and there was no "left over energy" to wake them up middle of the night.We tried music, then books, then the Kindle readers on our tablets - as the books got damaged, lost, or generally unavailable at bedtime.After randomly trying out many Kindle books for 3-5 year age range, we gravitated towards the Lily Lemon Blossom series, and then this book - "The Zebra Says Shhhh" - and another very similar book -"Good Night Little Turtle".Lily Lemon Blossom books are great to capture their attention and get them lying down and listening / looking at the books on tablet readers.The Good Night Little Turtle and/or Zebra Says Shhhh are heavy artillery that come out once the kids are calmed down - or about 1 to 2 Lily Lemon books down the line.Both of these books have the same theme - reiterating the fact that the animals are going off to sleep on about every other page.The kids seem to love this. The animals in the zoo are all restless, just like them, and then the Zebra comes in and shush-es each one of them, and then suddenly they are all asleep. This is about the midpoint of the book. Then we go into each pen and see the animals all sleeping as appropriate for them. By the time we come to the Zebra falling asleep, the kids are usually knocked out.I've rarely had to read this book twice. I have no idea how it works, but this is amazing.
The Zebra stood in his field at the zoo listening to all the other animals. It wasn't time for talking because "it was bedtime at the zoo." He stood quietly listening and then said, "Shhh, it's time to go to sleep." Ah, but the animals didn't want to go to sleep. The monkeys swung to and fro in the trees and said, "ooo, ooo, ooo." Nope, they didn't want to go to sleep. The lion looked out from his den as the stars began to twinkle in the sky. "Raar," he exclaimed to all who could hear him. Nope, he didn't want to go to sleep. Zebra, who was very tired, exclaimed, "Shhh, it's time to go to sleep."The parrot fluttered in the trees, flapping his beautiful feathers all the while talking. "Squawk, Squawk." Nope, she didn't want to go to sleep either. And then there were the turtles who said, "snap, snap" as they ambled around in the grass. There were the seals who splished and splashed in their pond as they played. "Ar, ar." Nope the turtles and the seals didn't want to go to sleep. "Shhh, it's time to go to sleep," exclaimed the zebra once again. The stars were twinkling and it was bedtime at the zoo, but was anyone going to be quiet so the zebra could get some sleep?This is a charming bedtime story of the animals at the zoo who didn't want to go to sleep. Much as he tried, zebra could not get all the animals to be quiet, but eventually, like all little children do, they managed to go to sleep one by one. The tale was almost lyrical as the zebra kept repeating his request and saying "shhh." The artwork was very colorful and charming as it depicted those not-so-sleepy critters who just couldn't fall asleep. I think my favorite was the hippopotamus who decided rolling in the mud was infinitely more fun than going to sleep. If you have a little one who just isn't into going to sleep, this is a perfect bedtime story to lull him or her to sleep!This book courtesy of the publisher.
I read this with my 6 year old son, and he adored it. He enjoyed playing guess what comes next. The illustrations are beautiful, the story is capturing for a young child, and its fun. You can predict the "shhh" part to read with your child and it becomes a game. Simple, fun, magical, and capturing are words I would use to describe the book. Greatly enjoyed!
Ahhh what a charming book! My six year old especially enjoyed the lyrical read, and thought it was very entertaining. As a mama of three, I could easily relate to the zebra! How we mama figures long for our little ones to rest with ease. This book was completely engaging and sweet. A must read for bedtime.
This story book is about as simple as it comes. It reads easily and is nicely illustrated throughout. I especially liked the muted colors that were used to keep in the spirit of it being a bedtime read. And make no mistake about it, this book very easily could become a toddlers bain, (if they want to stay awake), and a mother's favorite. It's the kind of bedtime story you save to the very last, if you are one of those unfortunates that have youngin's that are never satisfied with just one book during the nighttime ritual. You read it slowly, allow the relaxing pictures and colors to do their thing, and hopefully, they will be asleep by the close of it. Just before you are... Very simple but cute bedtime book that is nicely illustrated and recommended... zzzzzZZZZZZZ
Do you go to sleep easily? Do your mom and dad have to remind you it is time for sleep?The author, M.R. Nelson, has written a fun book for bedtime reading. At the zoo, the Zebra was ready to go to sleep, but all the buzzing kept him awake. He said to the monkey, lion, and parrot, shhh,mint us time for sleep. The zebra was very tired, but the hippotamus and the giraffe were not ready for sleep. One by one he went to each animal in the zoo to ask them to go to sleep. When you read this book, you will find out what happens.Parents and teachers will enjoy reading this book to their children. It uses soothing words, and gives the children permission to close their eyes and drift off to dreamland. The illustrations by Tamia Sheldon are creative, bright and colorful. They depict each animal, and his activity in the zoo. Children of three and four will find this book just right for them.Recommended. prisrob 07-21-16
