Product Description
A fun read-aloud for little ones who are learning their ABCs.
It's sleepy time in Alphabet Town. But the twenty-six little letters of the alphabet all have something they needâor wantâto do before big-letter moms and dads tuck them in. Not since the classsic Chicka Chicka Boom Boom has there been such an appealing way to teach the youngest child the ABCs while providing a one-minute goodnight story. Of course, Melissa Sweetâs animated watercolor, pencil, and collage illustrations may beg for a little more time to match up all the toys with the right letters, and Judy Sierraâs rollicking rhymed story will want to be heard again and again. Okay, so maybe itâs a three-minute story!

Funny little bedtime book! February 17, 2010
KingAce (Los Angeles, CA)
A silly educational/bedtime book that my 3 year old loves. She gets a kick out of all the crazy things the little alphabets are doing. A good start to learing lower case letters.
This is a great ABC book! February 12, 2010

My 2 year old loves this book, we checked it out at the library but he likes it so much that I have to buy it. It has the cutest pictures, and the rhyming story is cute too. My son already has it memorized! And it has definitely helped him learn his ABC's.
This was an adorable, busy little alphabet bedtime book that your preschooler will love! December 13, 2009

It's bedtime in Alphabet town and all the little letters are getting ready to head to bed. Earlier in the day all the letters were running around outside playing. The S was on a swing, the K was flying a kite and the O was turning cartwheels. Everyone was so busy they made themselves tired, except for the letter A . . . "U-oh! A is wide awake." Before all the letters went to bed there were many things to do. Some had to take baths, a few were fidgety and needed stories, there was jumping on the bed and of course "K won't give a kiss good night." Bedtime is a busy time, but some of the little letters don't get ready for bed as easily as others!
This was an adorable, busy little alphabet bedtime book that your preschooler will love. The artwork was alive with little letters just dancing all over the pages, emulating what lots of children go through at night just before they head to bed. I liked the "rub-a-dub d" bath time when three of the letters, a rubber duck and little elephant were splashing around. If you want an educational and fun, fun, fun bedtime book, this is one you might want to consider!

My 7-year-old loves this book and insists on bringing it to bed each night. If your child loves their alphabets, as many austic children like my own do (patterns, predictions,sequences), I highly recommend this book.
A Splendid Alphabet Book September 29, 2009

Every kid in the whole world will tell you that Capital Letters are the most important because they are the "grownup" letters. That's why kindergarteners persist in printing in all caps to start with, I betcha. In this likable little lullaby book, the Grownup Letters are trying to get their rambunctious offspring into bed. This delightful book would be greatly loved in every preschool classroom or kindergarten as a pre-naptime read-aloud. Judy Sierra's sparse tight rhyme combines with stunningly childlike illustrations by Melissa Sweet. Check out her website at [...] where you'll find a terrific concentration game kids will love. Sweet's illustrations personify each "little letter" as the child of its "big daddy or momma" letter most charmingly. On the endplates, the letters, big and little, are easily identified as belonging to each other by color, composition, texture, all except the X which I suppose will always be a bit of an odd one. The sense of aliveness of the letters permeates the pages which are solid color on the left, scene-filled on the right, making this a perfect beginning-to-read title for those early readers who need big type on an uncluttered background. It is inherently charming to see adjacent letters of the alphabet enjoying their lives together, something I never thought of, but of course it makes sense. They spend so much time together, you know. Each rollicking picture includes objects related by their beginning letter to at least one of the letters in the scene; undoubtedly the favorite page will be "u" taking off his underwear. Eventually all the little letters successfully settle down to sleep but the reader feels a nagging urge to read it again, just for fun. What a great addition to the alphabet book genre! At [...] you'll find a short educational guide to The Sleepy Little Alphabet as well as her other wildly popular picture books
