Thank you so much to Thomas Nelson Children’s and Netgalley for the ebook to read and review.

This was literally the most gorgeous bed time picture book, an A-Z of all the little animals and how they nested down to sleep with their mamas and papas. It was just so soothing, relaxing and beautiful.

I loved the illustrations they were so detailed seeing all the different animals, some of which I didn’t even know existed but i do now. I loved seeing how they’d cuddle up to their parents as they went sleep, all the babies were so cute.

This book is a perfect bed time read, the way it’s written is very comforting, seeing all the other animals sleeping offers that to children knowing that they sleep in their beds all warm and cosy. They can dream about these animals and how they sleep after seeing and hearing the story.

I throughly enjoyed this book, it was beautiful and delicate and sweet, you can learn a lot from it but in a very easy natural way. It’s a great book to read before bed you’ll get a good night sleep from this book, due to its soothing nature and tone.

We are so thankful to have been able to view as an ebook ARC. What an adorable and fun way to show our little ones the alphabet. Using animals the author uses lyrical rhyme to tell the story of some of our favorite animals as we learn about their days and see how they snuggle together at night. This is a perfect addition to the bedtime routine. The illustrations are beautifully done and create a warm feeling with soft colors and calm feeling pictures. We absolutely love this book and can’t wait to add it to our home library. It also makes a great gift for families of littles ones who love animals. I also think this would be a wonderful addition to any early childhood classroom.
I would give a hundred stars.

READ TO ME.
This is a lovely book for bedtime (or even nap time) taking us through the alphabet of baby animals found throughout the world while naming and explaining in rhyme.
The illustrations by Jane Chapman are fun, mildly detailed, brilliantly diverse, and delightful.
Well suited for reading WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to anyone, but especially to a school, church library, or your local public library! If getting as eBook, be sure to get Adobe Digital Editions on laptop for absolutely best effect.
I requested and received a free temporary e-book on Adobe Digital Editions from Thomas Nelson: CHILDREN'S | Tommy Nelson via NetGalley. Thank you!

Cute and simple little book that shows different animals across the world and their young ones going to bed. A nice little addition to a child's library if you don't already have one of these "see how other animals go to bed" - books.
Decent art style.

Thank you to Netgalley and Thomas Nelson: Children's for an advanced read copy of this book.

All The Little Animals is an adorable bedtime and alphabet book for young children. Jane Chapman has once again "wowed" me with her adorable illustrations that draw little readers right into the book. My kindergarten aged daughter loved reading this book and we both learned about some animals that we have never heard of before.

This book would be a great addition to my special education classroom as it focuses on each letter of the alphabet in sequential order. It would pair nicely with letter-sound correspondence activities and letter identification practice. I could think of lots of ways to work on these skills while incorporating this book as a read aloud.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

All the Little Animals: A Bedtime Book From A to Z is a delightful bedtime book for children to help them settle down for bed and explore the alphabet and animals at the same time. The book is gentle and calming and very relaxing, making it perfect for bedtime. I loved how the author and illustrator described showed all the baby animals and their unique ways of settling down for bed, and the illustrations are just adorable! I'll be getting a physical copy of this for my grandbaby as she will just adore this at bedtime.

Looking for an adorable bedtime story to share with your littles? Look no further as All the Little Animals: A Bedtime Book from A-Z by Joy Jordan-Lake and illustrated by Jane Chapman is just what you need! Joy introduces the cutest baby animals all prepping for their bedtime. I was pleasantly surprised to read about more uncommon animals rather than the usual cow, duck, etc. The book flows wonderfully and the illustrations are beautiful. All the Little Animals: A Bedtime Book from A-Z by Joy Jordan-Lake is a book I highly recommend.

I was provided a digital version of this book via Netgalley in return for my fair and unbiased review.

ALL THE LITTLE ANIMALS is a beautiful bedtime book! This lovely lullaby story will help little ones relax as they learn how animals from around the world cozy up to prepare for sleep. With gorgeous illustrations, this A-Z animal rhyming text is sure to delight older children, too, as they discover facts about unique animals from far away. This picture book would make a great gift for kids of all ages.

As families read this book before sleep, they will continue the author’s great-grandmother’s bedtime ritual, which inspired this story.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publishers, and Joy Jordan-Lake for allowing me to read and review this book.

What fun I had reading this book and only wish I had some little ones still in my family. My favorite part was the advanced vocabulary and the unusual animals mentioned. Go to bed, combined with baby animals, plus alphabet make the perfect combination!

"All the Little Animals" is a delightful bedtime story. There are some unusual animals in this A-Z story of animals needing to snuggle up and go to sleep just like your child. Children will love the beautiful illustrations of the animals and learn about some new animals. This will be a book your child will want you to read every night.

A beautiful, beautiful book with rhymes about animal families preparing for bedtime. Parents can use this book to signal to children in a calm, gentle and fun way that it is time to close their eyes and go to sleep. How lovely that the author was inspired by her great- grandmother’s bedtime rituals. Parents can most definitely practise this warm and loving bedtime ritual too. What I love about rhymes is that it is so easy to memorise without realising it. Children who hear it often enough will be able to rattle it off by heart after listening to it a few times.

I love the colorful illustrations that show animal families at bedtime; those baby animals are so adorable and children will love looking at them.

5 stars. Highly recommended.

I adored this book! Great diversity of creatures, several I hadn't heard of. The rhymes and easy and the illustrations are adorable. Well-made, definite purchase.

Such a sweet, beautifully written and illustrated picture book that will give little ones an alphabetical primer as well as educate them about animals—some of them very unique! I learned a few new things, myself. Would make a lovely gift for a baby shower or the holidays to help encourage the love of reading and a tradition of bedtime stories.

5/5 stars

Thank you to Netgalley, the publishers, and Joy Jordan-Lake for allowing me to read and review this book.

As someone who grew up loving animals and wanting to learn more about them, this is such a cute book that introduces many different animals, not just cats and dogs, to children.

I will be getting this book to read to my future children. It was so cute and sweet.

A bedtime alphabet book for little ones. I appreciated the nice flow of the rhyming text, as well as the lush illustrations. I love vultures and found their illustration here very sweet.

This would be a nice companion to Over in the Jungle for storytime.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC. I will purchase for my library.

This beautiful book is perfect to read to your baby or toddler at bedtime. The book shares how animals from A-Z sleep at night. I love how well-written this is! Highly highly recommend.

Thank you NetGalley and Tommy Nelson for this advanced copy. All opinions are my own.

I'm amazed on the author's proficiency of naming A to Z animals, since I liked to play this game of picking an alphabet and named an animal when I'm still a kid, and found some alphabets are quite hard. And the illustrator for drawing the exact animal. Am also surprised that cassowaries came out, an unusual animal. Even though this book will accompany little children before bed, but the animals are entertaining enough for their knowledge.
