Fun rhyming text, but the illustrations are the best. Take a look at how the animals move from picture to picture while they are supposedly asleep. Text is a little long on some pages for story time, but we'll see how it goes.

A cute book for kids who love animals and silly rhymes. I found it very funny that the preschooler I read this to said he was "angry because the flea made the other animals sick" at the end. Considering he's growing up in the middle of a pandemic, that's a surprisingly reasonable reaction to have and it does make this book all the more relevant, although that certainly isn't the point of the story.

Didn't bother reading all of this. Way too much repetition. I know kids like repetition, but come on. Also the rhyme is forced at times. Meh, don't bother with.

Cute book, but does not hold Autumn's interest. I think the lack of an actual story is what did it. She likes it merely to recognize all the animals!

The kids loved this book! I found the rhythms off-sync a bit and tough to read aloud, but when 5 year olds are giggling wildly, you go with it!
