During the day, the boy has been to the zoo where he has seen a lion and her cub. As nighttime falls, the boy and his father share a book. It's the boy's bedtime, but the boy is not sleepy. He is still with the lions. Sleepy Boy is a lovely hymn from a new author -- a hymn to day and to night, to awake and to asleep, to mother and child, to father and son. Review: Very nice. - I like this. I've yet to read it to my son; want to wait till he is 3. But its beautifully illustrated and, as others note, its nice to have a warm story with a dad--and this is nicely done. Review: Really cute - |This is a great book for a young father to read to his young son. Nice illustrations and some touching content.

Front cover fooled me a bt
This book is not one that is picked up often. The children just don't connect with the rhyming story of the book so much. Pictures are sweet though.

It's all about imagrey!
Wow! This book may be a book to read for many years. Superbly written and the illustrations are awesome. There is more than the read story as in there is also an implied story. Happy reading!

too indepth for toddlers
I've found this too indepth for toddlers-- concepts are too deep, although a nice read for an adult.

Beautiful story to mind fathers and sons
A story filled with emotional thoughts and reality for a kid. My child loves it so much.

Wonderful bedtime read
A little boy has had a busy day, watching lions in the zoo. Now he is a sleepy boy who can't sleep, so his father lies beside him in bed and tells him to close his eyes. As the boy hears the sounds of his mother moving in the house and slowly drifts into sleep, he feels his father's presence beside him. He peeks an eye open to look into his father's eye, hears his father's slow breathing, feels his father's scratchy chin and smells the scent of his soap. The illustrations, diffuse and softly glowing, perfectly portray the sleepy feeling of the story and the imaginary little lion cub who comes to visit. A wonderful book that perfectly evokes and celebrates what it feels like for a little boy to be in the physical presence of his father.
