Book SynopsisThis colorful read-aloud, full of terrific repetition and pattern, will keep kids wide awake as the book's animals nap!
It is very hot in the jungle and suddenly a nice breeze arrives.
The jaguar wants to take a siesta. Just then he saw a coati and said,“Could you do me a big favor? Could you wake me up in exactly 10 minutes?”
The coati wanted a siesta too, and asked the cockatiel to wake him up in exactly 10 minutes...
Trade ReviewThis should become a new favorite for multiple readings; kids will enjoy reciting the final countdown of minutes and that explosive, page-filling snore. Snoring usually isn't this much fun. ―
Kirkus ReviewsThe Perfect Siesta has entered regular storytime reading at home, and I’m planning a great nap-centric read-aloud to debut this one at my library. It’s hilarious and I love the art, especially the giant, sleepy sloth’s eyes (shown on the cover). Snoring is up there with farts in terms of read-aloud humor, so let your loudest snore rip when you’re reading – the text will support you! The collage-style artwork will catch readers’ attention and makes for a great read-aloud to large groups as well as small groups.Makes for a fun bedtime, nap time, anytime read. ―
