Free Before I Go To Sleep Ebooks Online
On a summer evening, when it's just too hot to sleep, a child amuses himself by imagining all the delightfully funny animals he would like to be. There's a tap-dancing giraffe, a musical chimpanzee, a mountain goat in silly socks ... the fun goes on and on until the boy - and young listeners - are finally ready for sleep. But before they drift off, children will enjoy looking for a special character who appears in each of the illustrations.Maryjane Begin's lustrous, brilliantly detailed illustrations illuminate the imaginative night-dreams in Thomas Hood's classic nineteenth-century poem. Warm and playful, this reissue of a modern classic is just the book for bedtime snuggling.

It's a rhyming book about a boy that lies in bed thinking of the things he would like to be. I would recommend this book to a younger audience as it is easy reading and there are more pictures than words. A book on poetry with excellent color illustrations, and would recommend it for the 2nd graders.
This book encourages a healthy imagination that, to me, leads to a life of color and creativity. Thomas Hood weaves a simple tale of a boy who has a great imagination and Mary Jane Begins uses her imagination to bring Thomas's story to life.
This book was very intertaining. It kept all of my children:10yrs, 5yrs, 2 1/2yrs and 1 1/2, interested thoughout the entire story. It is a fun book to read before bed. The illustrations are wonderful.
Realistic, detailed pictures. Modern in the way of letting kids know they can be anything they want to be, and fun because it takes you many places, it's adventurous.
My son thoroughly enjoyed this book, almost as much as I did in reading it to him. The illustrations are fabulous and he loved to look at each new picture as we progressed through the book every time I would read it to him. When weeding through his large collection of books before leaving for college this beloved volume is one of only two early childhood books to make the cut and find a continued place in his current bookcase. Its a real gem!
My grandaughter loves your book and we would like to purchase more by Thomas Hood. Did he write anymore or is he about to??!!?? She's just two years old and is fascinated with all the little tricks and picture plays within the pictures. Please write more!! Deb Weber
