I received a free copy of this product as a member of Zondervan's Z Blog Squad in exchange for writing a review. All opinions are my own.
I've never personally been a big fan of the style of illustrators such as Jan Brett or Mary Engelbreit.
It's not that I don't appreciate their immense talent, but just that I tend to favor the silly and simple more than the vintage or intricate.
But I may just have to re-evaluate things, now that this book has joined our home library:
This book is a delight -- and it's making me reconsider everything from my taste in movies to novels to decorating preferences because who knows what other amazing things out there I've just been dismissing all this time?
I've written about our favorite bedtime books before, but I can already tell that this title will now be joining that collection!
The text is a mixture of short stories, poems, prayers and blessings that is only enhanced by Mary Engelbreit's timeless art.
This book just screams gift to me -- bedtime stories are always a great choice to give to a family and although you might not be inclined to share it with households no longer practicing a bedtime story ritual, I know several grown-ups that would love to have this sweet book sitting on their bookshelf!
You can grab your own copy of this book here and send your little ones off to Sleepy Town with plenty of pleasant dreams inspired by these pages!
