Description

With irresistible illustrations of a cozy pile of funny sleepers, The Fluffy Futon is both encouragement for bedtime and laugh-out-loud funny.

Grandma spreads her newly washed futon to dry in the sun. The futon is so soft and smells so clean! The cat can’t resist nestling down for a snooze. Instead of chasing it away, Grandma settles in alongside, soon followed by the hen and her chicks, a little boy, the dog, the goat, and the pig family. . . . Soon the whole household is taking a nap!

Until Grandma starts to find the futon so comfy that no one else can fit.

This was pretty silly. Not much of a story, but cute illustrations, and made me want to be napping on a fluffy futon too.

Very short and sweet with beautifully drawn illustrations. I wish the text was slightly larger on the pages, especially the sound effects, but that may be personal preference. The story is quite short, even for a kids’ book, but the very cute nonetheless. I’m sure it will bring a smile to many kids’ faces.

A gentle story about a host of people, and Grandma, enjoying a nap on a futon Grandma puts down on the floor. The futon smells so clean and looks so comfortable, no one can resist it.

I loved how despite more and more arriving, attracted by the futon, everyone makes room and adjusts, so each new animal can sleep comfortably.

The story is sweet, the illustrations full of life and a gentle humour, and it's a great book to talk about sharing, acceptance, and taking naps.

Thank you to Netgalley and to Lerner Publishing Group for this ARC in exchange for my review.

The story is cute, albeit a little light on plot.

Grandma sets out a futon to air on the porch, where she is eventually joined by a hoard of unusual characters. Not much happens, although younger readers may have fun trying to imagine who will show up next. I can see this being a story a toddler may enjoy reading multiple times, enjoying the silliness of the animal visitors, though I’m not sure if it would hold the same appeal for older children. It seems like a good story for the pre-k age group.

Cute illustrations style. I like that on a re-read, a reader can catch a glimpse of some of the animals we meet later in the story hanging out at the side of the house. I think kids would find the cartoonish illustration style appealing.

I received access to an ebook of this story from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
