Synopsis

Parents Magazine's "Best Bedtime Story" of 2017!

From David Weinstone, the popular children's musician and creator of the Music for Aardvarks program, comes All My Friends Are Fast Asleep, a rhythmic, cheerily illustrated bedtime story sure to smooth the way to sleep for young insomniacs everywhere.

After tossing and turning in his bed, a little boy embarks on a nighttime quest to find a cozy place to rest. He visits one animal friend after another, from a lark in its nest to a mole in its hole. But while all the animals he meets are happily dozing off, this tuckered-out wanderer remains wide-awake--until he finally finds the perfect spot to lay his head.

About this title

Review:

"A soothing piece for little bedtime resisters." --Kirkus Reviews

"It has everything you'd want for a nighttime read: dark (but not scary) illustrations; short, lyrical text; and a beloved character to help ease your child to dreamland." --Parents Magazine

Praise for Music Class Today!

"[A] friendly, stylishly illustrated rhyme-fest." --The New York Times Book Review

"Weinstone...certainly knows what makes a class tick (or rock). The children in the class are wonderfully diverse...[and] the mannerisms of the kids are spot-on. Listen to Weinstone sing the song (available for download from the publisher). It will become addictive. Reassurance for wallflowers everywhere." --Kirkus Reviews

"Children will ask for repeated readings . . . A welcome addition to picture book collections." --School Library Journal
