Now a board book for little bitty hands, this cuter-than-puppies companion to Little Sleepyhead celebrates children's wonder and curiosity about the natural world.
From marveling over lady bugs and caterpillars, marching like ants, stretching to the sun like a buttercup, and more, toddlers make friends with animals and plants alike. Of course playing with little bitty friends tires them out and the action winds down for a nap.From marveling over lady bugs and caterpillars, marching like ants, stretching to the sun like a buttercup, and more, toddlers make friends with animals and plants alike.

“A terrific choice to encourage children (and their hovering adults) to discover the wonders of the world around them. . . . Adorable babies and toddlers are shown observing, mimicking, and/or tenderly handling a furry caterpillar, buttercups, a baby bird, and a bitty snail. The repetitive words and sweet images capture this enchanted world of discovery.”—School Library Journal
“This gentle rhyming book, featuring a racially diverse collection of small children, highlights the fascination children feel for creatures even smaller than themselves. . . . Engaging artwork underscores a valuable message about the joys of close observation.”—Booklist
“Happy, curious toddlers of different races revel in the wonder of the natural world as they encounter small creatures, a willow tree, buttercups, etc. . . A visually inviting book that would make a great addition to toddler storytime.”—The Horn Book Guide
