Tämä oli hyvin erilainen mitä odotin. Meditatiivinen / hypnoottinen iltasatu, joka sopii kaiken ikäisille.
Tarinassa ei oikeastaan tapahdu paljoa, joten nukahtaa voi milloin vain.
Ainakin tämä oli toimiva, sillä nukahdin kirjan kanssa. Tosin en mene vannomaan että se oli kirjan ansiota

I'm going to try this on my 16 year old sister. I'll report back with results.

What a unique and fantastic tool to aid children to feel sleepy and get quality sleep.
It made me feel tired and I got some genuine yawns. I've yet to read it to one of the little ones but... I read it to my cat and she's now sleeping, so take that how you want!
This is just so , so clever.
Go into knowing it uses hypnosis techniques for relaxation.
The illustrations are creepy, and I feel like, as people have mentioned in other reviews, it's worded a bit oddly... I'm not sure if that was how it translates to English or intended, but it kind of didn't make sense.
The psychology of it all is absolutely fascinating, regardless.
Pick it up, give it a go and enjoy! >(^_^)<

I hate this book. I gave it one star only because zero stars looks like I didn't rate it at all.
I actually don't mind the illustrations (which some other reviewers have complained about), or that it's a boring story (duh, you're trying to get the kids to sleep, right?), and I don't mind that it's basically intended to be hypnosis/relaxation techniques for children - hey, whatever works, I'm into it.
So why do I hate it so much? The writing is TERRIBLE. This book is jam-packed full of incomplete sentences, poor grammar, verb tenses that change mid-sentence, and just general awkwardness. Reading this thing aloud (which is the idea) takes like 20 excruciating minutes of slogging through horribly written pages of boringness. I don't mind that it's boring. I get that it's supposed to be boring. But I don't think that hypnosis or guided relaxation requires poor grammar in order to be effective.
And I guess all this wouldn't be enough for me to hate it, I'd just give it a star or two on Goodreads and get rid of it... except that my oldest child likes the idea of a book that's supposed to help her fall asleep so she keeps requesting it. Even though it sucks. And having read it at least 10 times now, well, I hate it.

Tämä kirja ei ole millään tasolla mukaansatempaava, mutta se lienee tarkoituskin. Ainakin toimii. Viimeistään sivulla 11 on kuulija umpiunessa. Toimi myös aikuiseen. Lukijana alkaa oikeasti haukotuttaa jokaisessa kohdassa, jossa lukee *haukotus*.
Kuvitus on lapsen sanoin "vähän creepyä".
Creepyä voi jonkun mielestä olla myös se, että sanoilla ja painotuksilla on niin vahva voima. Toisaalta se muistuttaa vain totuuden: moni asia vaikuttaa meihin, vaikka kovasti kuvittelemme hallitsevamme ajatuksiamme... Ja mielenhallinnan asioista vähiten huolestuttavaa on, jos iltasatuhetki on niin rentouttava, että läheisen ihmisen ääneen tuntuu turvalliselta nukahtaa.

Not only made my kids fall to sleep, but made me crash also.

Breve cuanto que machaconamente hace énfasis en palabras como dormir y ahora para ir poniendo a los niños en el estado de ánimo apropiado. Las ilustraciones me erizan los pelos de la nuca, tienen un aire siniestro que solo yo veo, al parecer. Eso y que el texto es tan machacón que me recuerda a los telepredicadores que hipnotizan al público. No me ha gustado, y no he llegado a usarlo.
