A lullaby about the places where people and other creatures sleep. A rabbit sleeps tight in its burrow;/a bird snuggles down in a tree./A frog takes a snooze in the ooze of a pond;/a rose makes a bed for a bee./Do you suppose you could drowse in a rose...? The melodious text gently swings back and forth from stanza to refrain, until the final stanza, after which the refrain is longer and tends to wander. The book ends with Good night. Good night. Good night! in type that grows larger, larger, and larger. The precious, impish children and animals in muted mauves, olives, and browns are set against a pale, cream-colored background. Sleepy Places is too small for storyhours but just right for one-on-one quiet times.
