“This should become a new favorite for multiple readings; kids will enjoy reciting the final countdown of minutes and that explosive, page-filling snore. Snoring usually isn't this much fun.” — Kirkus Reviews
“The Perfect Siesta has entered regular storytime reading at home, and I’m planning a great nap-centric read-aloud to debut this one at my library. It’s hilarious and I love the art, especially the giant, sleepy sloth’s eyes (shown on the cover). Snoring is up there with farts in terms of read-aloud humor, so let your loudest snore rip when you’re reading – the text will support you! The collage-style artwork will catch readers’ attention and makes for a great read-aloud to large groups as well as small groups.Makes for a fun bedtime, nap time, anytime read.” — Mom Read it
