Goodreads Synopsis: 
"I can't sleep!" said Molly.
"You can," said her Mom.
"Just think of a story and sleep will soon come..."


When Molly can't fall asleep, her Mom has the perfect remedy: a soothing bedtime story! Mom dreams up a variety of sleep-inducing scenarios, but Molly manages to find something exciting and energizing in each one. Eventually, Mom's stories work, just not in the way she expects...
 
Review: 
Books about sleep and putting children to bed are a very common occurrence, so it is hard to read them and not think about others. But this book is a little bit different, it tells stories in the story with rhyme and beautiful imagery.

Sweet Dreaming is a very pretty book. The illustrations are full page spreads that have wonderful detail and color and they go perfectly with the story. In the story, a mother is helping to put her little girl to bed by having her imagine that she is part of stories, like a bird flying through the trees, each one doesn't feel quite right until the end. All of the options her mother gives her are captured with these gorgeous images.


I think this is a very pretty book and is another bedtime book that may help put a child to sleep with it slow and steady rhymes.
