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.

What a lovely book. It shows how different animals (starting from A to Z) sleep. There are some interesting animals in there, together with more common ones. I very much enjoyed reading it, plus the illustrations are beautiful and leave a lot to be discovered. I'd say this can be used from 3 years on. A very cute book!

We loved this book! Not only does it incorporate the alphabet (one of our favorite things) but the flow, the pictures, and the animals we've never heard of had baby smiling and engaged from page one. It was also fun as mom learning some new things that later we can look up and explore more together.

Thank you to NetGalley for allowing us the chance to read it early.

I loved the illustrations in the book, they are really great and lovely to look at.

I thought that the story was good and it was one my 6 year old daughter really enjoyed too.

We read the book together and then she read it to me the next night and has asked for it again tonight – you can’t really give greater praise to a children’s book than that with the number of books that there are available.

It is 5 stars from me for this one, it is already a firm favourite in our house – very highly recommended!

This book was positively adorable! I loved the animals from a-z, and I so appreciated that this author found animals that are not often included in the typical a-z animal list. My kids loved this book and its beautiful illustrations. I’ll be buying a hard copy of this one!

A calming and cuddly bedtime read!

Starting with “A for armadillo,” this picture book goes through the alphabet with a different set of animals as they go to sleep on each page.

Animals are always an easy sell for my kids and the first time we read this one together, we went through it 3 times in a row. They loved discovering what animals were going to be at each page-turn and I even learned a few new animals (I can imagine it was a little more difficult to find ones that started with “U” and “X” 😉).

This one has an educational element to it but also makes for some sweet time before bed to cuddle up as a family and talk about cute animals. It’s one kiddos will ask for again and again!

I love this bedtime book! The alphabet usage for the animals is adorable and I love that they chose to use more unusual animals besides the standard dog, cat, etc. I feel like this book would be great for introducing different animals and is lyrical enough for bedtime reading. Beautiful illustrations make it perfect for every child!

Joy Jordan-Lake's newest children's book is an absolute masterpiece! I look forward to reading this bedtime book to my 4-year-old grandson. He will be captivated as Jordan-Lake introduces him to new animals and teaches him new things about familiar ones. Reading this book was certainly a learning experience for me! Jane Chapman's illustrations are enthralling, drawing the reader in with delicate details. I will be gifting this book to several young friends.

All the Little Animals: A Bedtime Book from A-Z is the most adorable book with a gentle litany describing the bedtime habits of unusual animals bedding down for the night. Joy Jordan-Lake has selected some favorite animals like flamingos and sea otters, but has also included unusual species like the cassowaries and quokkas (both new to me). Jane Chapman’s illustrations are so lovely and relaxing. Your little one will enjoy the A-Z discoveries of how each of these animals settles down for the night. This wonderful book is for anyone with younger children, grandchildren, or a love for A-Z books.

A special thanks to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

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.
