Books like Snoozers
By Sandra Boynton
For the toddler who wants one more book, then one more, then one more — this one hands them the remote. Cozy, silly, and gently repetitive, with Boynton's signature goofy warmth.
Ten imaginative little piggies appear on a child's fingers and toes, dancing and playing through a string of fanciful antics before settling down to sleep.
A whole barnyard of animals — a jump-roping chicken, a swinging pig, a moose, an elephant — pulls on pajamas of every color and stripe in a rhyming countdown to bedtime.
At bedtime, a little boy asks his mama again and again — what if he were a smelly skunk, a meat-eating dinosaur, a swamp creature — and she answers every wild what-if with love.
A little bunny, tucked into bed in a great green room, says goodnight one by one to everything around him — the moon, the clocks, the mittens, the kittens — until sleep comes.
A garden fills up with counting fun as a mole digs a hole, parrots pull up carrots, bears pick pears, and bees prune trees with tiny shears — one busy number at a time.
A barnyard family of animals — roosters, cows, horses, goats, and a pink piglet learning to squeal — plays through a full day and settles down together as night falls.
A laid-back cat struts down the street in brand-new white shoes, stepping in strawberries, blueberries, and other messes that change their color again and again — but he never stops singing.
A girl named Sally travels to town walking backward and upside down, picking up a silly pig, a silly dog, and other funny friends who join her topsy-turvy parade.
A little bunny named Nicholas lives in a hollow tree and shows what he loves best about each season, from picking spring flowers to curling up for a winter's sleep.
A boatload of animals heads below deck at sunset for a bedtime routine — scrubbing in one big tub, brushing their teeth, doing exercises, and rocking together until every last one drifts off to sleep.
A cumulative garden poem grows one flower at a time — marigolds, pansies, tulips, sunflowers — with each verse adding another bloom and a small surprise.
A young boy explores a farm, noticing how each animal finds shelter and safety, comparing their hiding places to God's protection — until a rain storm sends him looking for shelter of his own.
