Bedtime in the Meadow

Product Description It's time for the animals in the meadow to find their way back home to sleep. Butterfly rests on a cattail, dragonflies settle on leaves, and bees gather in their hive. Families of foxes, ducks, and rabbits cuddle close for slumber. The soft padded covers, rounded corners and sturdy board pages make this title a perfect fit for preschoolers! Review Dark swirls with brightly colored animals and insects represent what a sleepy meadow must be like. Soft rhyme sounds like a whisper as it rolls off the tongue. The subtle details of the meadow will have toddlers learning new objects, animals and insects each time the story is read. This is also a great story for bonding between parent and child.    Kirsti Bernard About the Author Stephanie has lived in Oregon her entire life. She loves rain, never uses an umbrella and has plenty of weather-related excuses to stay indoors to read and write.
