Chester Chipmunk Will Not Sleep by Kathleen George

vickylovesreading's review against another edition

4.0

This is a delightful, charming tale about Chester Chipmunk, who does not want to go to bed because he's too excited from the day's activities. I really liked the rhyming throughout the story and the way that the mother persuaded Chester to go to sleep. A really adorable book that I would thoroughly recommend to younger readers.

Unfortunately as I was gifted an promotional e-book through Netgalley, I did not manage to see all of the illustrations - however, those that worked were wonderful and detailed!

Chester Chipmunk Will NOT Sleep is a story written by Kathleen George and illustrated by Louisa Mae. Chester Chipmunk is an absolutely adorable sleepy chipmunk who loves in a tree in the nook of Cherry Hill. It's bedtime, but Chester just does not want to go to bed because he wants to stay up and play. Who as parents has not had a child who tried to get out of going to bed at bedtime? This beautifully illustrated story shows Chester that he can have many adventures while he sleeps because he will be able to dream. The ability to dream makes him a lucky boy, but he can only experience this magic when he goes to sleep. I love this and think this would be a perfect bedtime story for any little one who might claim that they are not ready for bedtime.

This book is almost a 5. Almost. The illustrations are amazing and I wish the layout was better to focus on them more. They are like little postage stamps on a blue background when they should be bold and big. The story is quite fun, the rhymes work even if a few are harsh and trip the tongue. Overall this is a lovely book I would add to any library collection.
