It's night-time in the Animal Kingdom and time for all the animal children to go to bed. But animal children are every bit as restless as their human counterparts. How do their parents help them to sleep. What animal lullabies do they sing? Mandy Ross's original poems are linguistically rich and varied, creating affectionate and humourous sound-picturesout of an appealing mix of everyday language and nonsense words. Her engaging word play is admirably complemented by the vibrant watercolours of Krisztina Kallai Nagy. All children will love to imitate their favourite animals as they nestle to sleep, and the book finishes with a lullaby all human animals will love. Complete with Audio CD.

Review

Anyone who knows or has read A Kiss Like This will love Animal Lullabies. Practitioners will enjoy using this CD and beautifully illustrated book to support creative development and literacy in their setting. There is a lot of cross-curricular scope for the text. Our favourite lullabies were ‘Worms’ read in a French accent, ‘The kangaroo joey’ in an Australian accent and the ‘Crocodile’ in a Caribbean accent. The songs encourage children to read, count, play with language and develop new vocabulary. I was a little disappointed that some lullabies were narrated with rhythm to background music rather than sung. Both male and female voices are used, with accents from around the world that intrigued the children. ― Practical Pre-School - Issue 42 Published On: 2004-01-01

5.0 out of 5 stars Poetry book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 18, 2016

We borrowed this from the library and my son loved it so much that we ordered our own copy. His favourite is the poem about the skunk. The illustrated book is made up of poems about different creatures going to sleep. The poems are varied in length and many are amusing. Here's an example poem:
Slug

No shell
Oh well
Feeling sluggish?
You'll sleep well.

A lovely book.

Il Libricino è ben fatto e simpatico. La qualità è tipo brochure e sinceramente pensavo fosse con un inglese più semplice.

Lovely, lovely book. Great quality to the book and pictures, lots of rhymes and short stories about many different animals. I purchased these for both of my grandaughters and I think they will become a favourite.

We had borrowed this book from the library years ago for our first child, who loved the rhythm of poems like "Skunk" ("sweet dreams, scented dreams, my little stinkaree") and when our next baby was born, we could not find it anywhere. When we finally came across this, it was like meeting an old friend again.

I bought this book for my baby grandson to enjoy in the next few years and I have thoroughly enjoyed reading the animal poems. I recently met Mandy Ross which was the reason I chose it and it is lovely and funny and sweet.
