I read this to my two children (6 and 3) they both enjoyed the story. My daughter loved the illustrations and the story of the Bunny. It was really cute how bunny was lonely so he went to find someone to be with. Turns out sometimes your own company is the best company. Either way my children lived it and we actually bought ourselves a physical copy when it released.

This is a gorgeous children's book, with beautiful images that children will adore. The characters of the book are so cute - we have little Bunny who is very lonely and he cannot get to sleep, so he tries to sleep with his friends Squirrel, Skunk, Porcupine, Bear, and Owl, but they are all too annoying to sleep with, so he ends up back in his own bed where he feels better.

My daughter and I loved this book, and we recommend it highly!

Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for a copy of this book.

Little Bunny couldn't sleep because he was so lonely. So he thought maybe he could sleep if he was with a friend. He visited his friends, but at each house there was a problem and he couldn't sleep there. Finally after not being able to sleep at his friend Owl's house, he got some really good advice, There's no place like home! This is a really cute children's book and I have to say my favorite parts had to be the reasons why he couldn't sleep at each house.

Little Bunny’s Sleepless Night is a sweet and simple story about a bunny who can’t go to sleep. Little ones will relate to Little Bunny’s feelings of being all alone at night in their bed and wanting some company. Little Bunny has an idea, he will go spend the night with his friend Squirrel., but Squirrel likes to have a snack in the middle of the night and the noise of crunching acorns keeps Little Bunny awake, so he leaves and goes to spend the night with his friend Skunk, which doesn’t work out as he planned as well. Little Bunny continues on his trek to find a place he can sleep, visiting his friends Porcupine, Bear and Owl, but each place he goes he finds he is not able sleep for one reason or another. Finally, frustrated, he asks the wise Owl how he can get a good night’s sleep and Owl tells him he should go home where he belongs. When he arrives home he is happy to be back in his own bed, grateful for the peace and quiet, and he falls to sleep.

This story is a gentle bedtime book with cute animal characters who will lull little ones to sleep. The theme of “there’s no place like home” will resonate and comfort children who feel lonely when they have to go to bed. The illustrations are charming, pen and ink with soft and muted washes of color appropriate for the feeling of night. This book is a classic bed time story that young ones will enjoy hearing over and over.

I would like to thank the publisher for providing an electronic ARC through NetGalley.

I received a complimentary copy from the publisher and all opinions expressed are entirely my own. Little Bunny’s Sleepless Night is an adorable cute children’s picture book about a little bunny trying to get a good nights sleep. Loved the illustrations and the story , Recommend it!

Little Bunny’s Sleepless Night has great illustrations but is missing something. The story is pretty much relaying facts about a particular night in the life of Little Bunny. If this is the way the book is meant to be told repetition, rhyming or sing-song language will give it heart.

Little Bunny’s Sleepless Night is a very cute and cozily drawn children’s picture book about a little bunny trying to get a good nights sleep. The drawings and characters are very cute. I’d buy this for a child for sure.

**Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the e-arc I received.**

Sometimes it can be difficult to train children to go to sleep at night in their own room and their own bed. This book is a perfect addition to establishing a nighttime routine. Little Bunny’s Sleepless Night is a perfect book to read to children that are trying to go to sleep but do not like being alone in their beds. The storyline takes Bunny to the houses of each of his friends as he seeks someone to spend the night with. Along the way, he is able to see that he needs to sleep in his own home and his own bed in order to have the environment that he likes.

The text is perfectly balanced and so easy to read. Lovely illustrations compliment the story giving it a kind of Peter Rabbit appeal. The storyline is unique and practical while the characters are sweet and endearing. The book is a bit longer in length, making it best for toddlers and older.

I received this book from the publisher free of charge with no expectation of a positive review.

My first impression upon seeing the opening pages was that this book looks like one of the old storybooks I had as a kid. Like the Bernstein Bears or Teddy goes to xxx books. I absolutely love the traditional illustrations! Then we get into the story and it's lovely! Perfect amounts of text per page, a wonderful rhythm to it that makes it easy to read (and no big words to stumble over).

Words are good, illustrations are good. Only one last thing to make sure is suitable for a children's book: the plot or purpose of the story. Our poor little lead character, a bunny, is having trouble sleeping alone. So he tries to go to some friends houses to sleep but finds them a little less than ideal. Between quills prickling him, snoring bears, and a stinky skunk; our bunny decides that home, all alone, in his big bed is the best place for him!

Perfect for the transition to a 'big kid' bed for your toddler. Or for any child having trouble staying in their room or on their own bed. I would recommend this one in a heartbeat to anyone raising an only child, or an anxious kiddo when it comes to sleeping. It's perfect in just about every way; just like bunnies bed!

Please note: I received an eARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. This is an honest and unbiased review.

One night little bunny, who is an only child, wakes up and feels very lonely. He cannot get back to sleep so he decides to ask one of his friends if he can stay with him overnight. He hops next door to his friend squirrel. Kind Squirrel, without any hesitation, invites little bunny in and shares his bed with him. The sleepover does not go well due to a crunchy middle of the night snack by his rodent friend. Little bunny is unable to sleep because of the loud crunching sounds and so he heads off to see if Skunk will take him in. Another fiasco with Skunk sends him off to Porcupine, then on to Bear, and finally to Owl's home. Oh my will he ever get some sleep?

Even though his friends graciously invite little Rabbit in and even share their bed with him something always happens to disturb his slumber causing little bunny to pack up his stuffed bunny buddy and head back home.

What awaits him there is just what he needs to finally curl up, drift off and get a wonderful, deep, relaxing sleep at last. AHHHHHH! Can you guess what he discovers?

This delightful book is back in print and is a perfect choice to share at bedtime. It highlights loneliness, acceptance, kindness, friendship and problem solving. The illustrations are enriching and the diverse animal characters are adorable. The final wrap up is... there's no place like home. I love the story and highly recommend it!

Little Bunny's Sleepless Night is such a cute story. I had fun reading it and just loved the adorable illustrations. The illustrations are what brought the story to life. And if you can add sound effects for the C-R-U-N-C-H, the snoring and an Eeeww! for the skunk, even better. It's an entertaining read that is sure to fetch ear to ear smiles to the little listeners. Five delightful stars.

I received a digital ARC from North South Books. The review herein is completely my own and contains my honest thoughts and opinions.

This adorable picture book would be perfect for a bedtime story. The illustrations were nice and the story was very sweet. Little Bunny feels very lonely and cannot go to sleep, so he tries to sleep over at various friends' houses.

Little Bunny’s Sleepless Night is a short and sweet children’s book that brings to light the true meaning of “home sweet home.” The children’s book starts off by exploring the deeper, inner feelings of loneliness and the obstacles one overcomes in an effort to prevent loneliness. Thus, Little Bunny visits several of his friends - many of whom keep him hopping along until he determines that being alone isn’t a bad thing after all.

The gorgeous illustrations bring forth nostalgia for the speaker and present lively images for the child. Aside from the images, the plotline keeps the reader entertained as they follow Little Bunny’s journey. The book is guaranteed to make you laugh and recognize just how much you have to be appreciative of within your own home.

Overall, this short picture book is destined to make children feel warm and cozy while heading to bed. It addresses the complexity of loneliness and lightly presents ways to navigate those emotions in a healthy manner. Parents will soon find that Little Bunny’s Sleepless Night will become a popular bedtime request.

This is such a cute bedtime story for kids of all ages. It is a great way for kids to learn to appreciate the comforts of home and know that home is always a safe place to be.

This is a delightful story that teaches a valuable lesson in a very entertaining way. Little bunny feels lonely at night and wants a friend to sleep next to, so he goes around to each of his animal friends' houses (bear, owl, porcupine, etc.) requesting them to let him spend the night with them. All his friends agree at once, but Bunny soon finds out that he cannot sleep due to different problems at each friend's house: bear's snoring, porcupine's quills, owl's light, etc.! Soon, he realizes that truly, there is no place like home, and that perhaps being alone is the best thing after all! As someone who grew up as an only child, valued my own space and privacy, and always insisted on having a single room in college (no roommates), I felt a strong connection to this story even as an adult, and will be sure to share it with young students!
