Though it’s bedtime, Littlephant wants to play: to gallop like a zebra and to remain “awake and alert” like a meerkat. Daddyphant never points out that zebras, meerkats, and other creatures sleep at night, but he counters by encouraging Littlephant to follow the example of animals like giraffes (“sleepyheads!” scoffs Littlephant), snakes (“boring!”), or hyenas—a suggestion that backfires as Littlephant begins to laugh loudly. – Kirkus Reviews. In this warm bedtime story, the animals of the African savanna are winding down for sleep—all except one boisterous pink elephant who insists that sleeping is not for him. – Foreword Reviews. Book crush of the week – Let's Talk Picture Books.
