I can honestly say that this book is now one of my all time favorite children's books. My daughter and I sat down with this book and sang it together. Yes, we sang it. We couldn't help ourselves. We took turns, first I read it to her, but I only made it to the second page before realizing I was sing songing it! After that, she sang it to me, several times.The illustrations are adorable. We enjoyed the images of Sheppard sleeping in different scenarios and Mary getting frazzled trying to keep him awake. The rhyming verses are excellent and stay with you long after you have read the book. My daughter was still singing it last night as we sat down for dinner. She said that she just couldn't help herself!I highly recommend this book for all ages of children. They youngest ones will love hearing the story and the older ones will enjoy reading it again and again. I hope to find more books from Julia Dweck that are as enjoyable as this one.I received an ebook copy of this for review purposes. Even though I received the book for free, the opinions stated are my own. I received no compensation for posting a review.
