Book Review ~ Tabitha Won't Sleep by David McLain @mclaindave ~ Illustrated by Felix Eddy ~ Children's Picture Book #Fantasy @MirrorWorldPub

Mirror World Publishing and Sapphyria's Book Promotions Present
the 1-week virtual book tour for Tabitha Won't Sleep.

About Tabitha Won't Sleep:


It’s eight bells, and Tabitha Winter doesn’t want to go to sleep.

“Well, it’s time to go to bed,” Mama Kitty says. “Come on, let’s put your pajamas on. Dad will read you a story.”

Tabitha Won’t Sleep is a beautifully illustrated picture book about a young kitten whose parents encourage her to believe that she can do anything she wants to, as long as she goes to sleep first. Children will love exploring the wonderful adventures Tabitha has in mind as she tries to avoid bedtime, and adults will love that in the end, everyone goes to sleep. Seriously, it's past eight-thirty. Lay down your head and close your eyes.

My Review:

Tabitha Won't Sleep is a wonderful children's book about a cat family whose kitten doesn't want to go to bed. There are too many things to do and places to go. I love the beautiful, vibrant illustrations and imagination that went into Tabitha's explorations. Every parent knows what it's like to have a child not want to go to bed and the creativity involved in finally getting them there. Children will love the colors, pictures, and adventures within Tabitha Won't Sleep. Parents will love the lessons within that aim to teach children that imagination is great but bedtime is even better.

I was provided a copy of this book to read. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
