Prolific children's poet Jack Prelutsky has taken this undeniable truism and run with it in My Parents Think I'm Sleeping, an eye-opening, poetic romp through the multitude of adventures that can take place after the lights have been turned out. From pleasant nighttime thoughts ("I have been in bed for hours, / but I'm sure I'm wide-awake, / for my head is filled with visions / of a forest by a lake.") to philosophical ponderings ("What happens to the colors / when night replaces day? / What turns the wrens to ravens, / the trees to shades of gray?"), children everywhere will relate to these soothing, sleepy poems. Illustrated by Yossi Abolafia with the foggy blues and grays of the gloaming, kids will love snuggling up with this book--in fact, it just might make tuck-in time a dream! (Ages 4 to 8) Product Description: So my parents think I'm sleeping, but that's simply their mistake, I have got them fooled completely, I am really wide-awake. From watching shadows dancing on a wall, to reading books by flashlight under the covers, to sneaking downstairs to grab that last piece of chocolate cake, master poet Jack Prelutsky shows readers that a child's life begins at bedtime! Average Rating:
 Rating:  - NightmaresIf your child doesn't already have nightmares, s/he will after reading/seeing this book! For example, the publisher's description doesn't include the horrific imagining, and illustration, of shadows on the wall as monsters. The beautiful lines quoted about mental images created as a child falls asleep turns out to be just the imaginings of a boy, with flashlight and toys, under the covers. The illustrations are even worse than the poems. Altogether, the arrival of this book was a huge disappointment. Rating:  - book reviewI bought this book for my six year old grandson. I live out of state and have not seen the book, but my daughter says the book is very nice. My grandson says he loves the book. Rating:  - Good Read!My six year old grandson and I liked the book very much. He has used some of the methods on his parents. Rating: - My Parents Think I'm SleepingI just love Prelutsky. I have many of his books and read them to my grandchildren as often as I can. His use of language is so adventurous, so creative and often very funny. It really gets the kids to think and hopefully be adventurous and creative in their own use of our wonderful English language.I must confess I often read out aloud to myself, I love a bedtime story even though I am over 60. Rhythmic language and a bit of a giggle really helps me sleep. Rating: - Gets him in bed and keeps him there!I have been reading this book to my 3 year old son every night for the past week. He is a TERROR to get to bed despite keeping him in his regular routine. After we started this book all I would have to say after bath is "time for Parents think I'm sleeping" and he hops in bed without a fuss. The poems are pretty cute and the pictures are a delight. I think he likes it bc he thinks he's getting one over on his parents just like the boy in the book. I am thrilled with this book and intend on getting more ... Read More
