My Bed: Enchanting Ways to Fall Asleep Around the World by Rebecca Bond

Travel around the world and see how other kids sleep. 

Thoughts: A lovely book that uses an everyday object and occurrence (bed and sleep) to explore other cultures. This will be a great diverse addition to my bedtime storytime theme. The illustrations are fabulous. I can't believe all the detail that went into them. I enjoyed Mavor's note at the end about how she created the illustrations with fabric, beads, wire, yarn, and embroidery. I love the animals that appear throughout the book. 

Themes: Bedtime, Sleep, Around the World
