That Baby Woke Me Up, AGAIN is for all those bleary-eyed families who sincerely believe that they will never again enjoy a full night of sleep.
Can you count the number of nights you slept after your baby was born? Do you remember-or are you now suffering through-the cries that can mean anything from Change me now, to I'm hungry, to Time to come in and play with me?
In Sherry Ellis' That Baby Woke Me Up, AGAIN, ther's no question about who's the head of the household. It's the baby! The little darling who was born with feed-and-play-on-demand talents is making his message clear: I want you...and I want you now! Ms. Ellis understands the world of the sleep-deprived and felt compelled to write a book that might make every family's sleepless nights bearable. Thus, the first lines of the book:
"I was sleeping in my bed
and a dream was in my head
when..."
That baby woke me up, AGAIN!
Excerpt
I counted sheep,
I went to sleep,
five, six, seven times;
and every time
that baby's whine
woke me up AGAIN!
Professional Reviews
Five Star Review: Midwest Book Review
-Rhyming verse and friendly illustrations tell the story of a young child who cannot sleep because a cranky baby is always crying! An excellent read-aloud book especially for sharing with older siblings having trouble getting used to a new baby in the household.
Five Star Review: Peaches Ledwidge, Author
-This book is one that every parent, especially those who have younger children, should have. It is an excellent teaching tool for mothers-to-be, new mothers, and children who have a new addition/baby in their homes.
Five Star Review: Medeia Sharif, Author
-The author takes something commonplace, a crying baby keeping people up all night, and weaves a wonderful tale with it.
