This book was a very cute little story. It reminds me of the tales and gestures that I do for my own little mice here at home. My youngest son really liked this book when I read it to him and we purchased a copy of our own.

I thought this was a pretty good bedtime story.

It's about a young boy mouse that is having trouble falling asleep so his mom offers up solutions to try to help him doze off but in the end all he really needed was something from her... LOVE.

This was a really cute story and so easy to relate to for me being a single mom and having a toddler that has trouble falling asleep. A reminder that sometimes the only thing that can do the job is a little love and affection.

This is the perfect bedtime story! Loved it.

This is a fantastic little book about a little mouse that can't go to sleep. Mama mouse gives Little Mouse helpful tips for falling asleep including stories, pancakes, hugging your family, wishes, and snuggling up to cozy soft things. This is a very cute book and I like the illustrations as well.

This is the perfect bedtime story for little ones who refuse to go to sleep! It would also be fun for Pajama Storytimes.

Poor little mouse is having trouble getting to sleep. He can't calm himself down and drift off so he goes and asks Mama Mouse what he should do. In fact he seeks Mama Mouse out many times to see if she can give him some tips as to how he can shut himself down, curl up, and be gone to Dreamland.

Wise Mama, with much patience and love, instructs her little guy to: read a whole book from cover to cover and then wait for the yawning, to imagine a mountain of pancakes and goodies in the morning and wait for the stretching, snuggle with things that are soft while thinking of friends, family and pets then wait for sleepy thoughts to start, count stars in the sky remembering wishes he made for his birthday, in secret, and in his dreams then wait for the dozing, just to name a few.

She finally hits on the magical formula that will give her little one a deep sense of contentment and calm causing his eyes to close and his day to finally be concluded. Ahhhhhh!! Success!!

This delightful lyrical story is perfect to share with your little mouse at bedtime. I am sure you have custom-made suggestions to give him to help him transition from awake to sound asleep. The illustrations are just gorgeous. If I were to write a book I would love to have Lisa Brandenburg be my illustrator. She is amazing! I highly recommend this book.
