crystal_reading's review against another edition
I liked the idea of having a book dealing with the difficulty of getting to sleep since many children can relate. I was disappointed to see a badger dressed as a Wampanoag in this book for a Thanksgiving play. The play could have been anything since it wasn't a major part of the story and that wasn't the best choice. Also puzzling is the teacher's use of "Buenas noches" with Carlos when she doesn't use Spanish at any other point. It seemed odd to single him out with the greeting in that way and yet make no other use of Spanish during the class time.

Boris the Badger had a million reasons for not being able to sleep during the day (remember, badgers are nocturnal). His worries were keeping him awake. After hearing from his classmates about all the things he was missing in school because he was sleepy, he decided to banish the worries and get a good days sleep.
