What I loved: This is a sweet story about a family approaching bedtime. The book names all the mice and includes all the steps leading to bedtime – with some minor hiccups. A little bit silly and mostly charming, the story takes the reader along to sleep with the Winks family. The rhyming text is fun to read aloud, and I appreciated the clearly printed font, switching to white on darker pages, to make them easier to view in lowlight. The images are really detailed and include lots of fun things to look at. While most pages could turn quickly, children will enjoy exploring the mice on each page and all the charming details. The story leads to sleep with a waking in the morning at the end that makes it a great choice for a bedtime pick.
Final verdict: A rhyming and charming picture book, FORTY WINKS is a sweet bedtime read that children will enjoy.
