Snuggleford Cuddlebun the sloth heads to the annual Snoozefest in this adorable rhyming bedtime book. A champion sleeper, Snuggleford takes everything she needs with her, front hammock to blanket, and enjoys the soporific music, which sends her into a three-day rest...

A sweet, sleepy take on the idea of a music festival, Snoozefest pairs an entertaining tale told through rhyme - "It's dreamy to see the stuff everyone brings - / their wumphiest, coziest, comfiest things. / Bundles of blankets and fluffed feather beds - / puffy poofed pillows to prop up their heads" - with colorful and cute illustrations. The tale is full of clever little details - the quirky sleeptastic words that author Samantha Berger invents, the fact that the fashion designers involved in the P.J. Parade have names like "Dormant Gabbana" and "Diane Von Firstinbed" - that add to the reader's enjoyment. Recommended to young sloth-lovers, and to anyone looking for quirky bedtime tales sure to win a snooze or two. ( )

Young sloth is a champion snoozer, which is probably not much of a stretch for a sloth. ( )

Nice rhyme and rhythm to story. ( )
