“"A relatable framework through which to access broad-ranging works of art."-- Publishers Weekly "The follow up to My Art Book of Love , and it is just as wonderful. The My Art Book... series is my favourite board book series and this book met my high expectations. These two books would also be fantastic as presents."-- Baby Librarians "This exquisite board book will retain its visual value forever--certainly long after children have moved beyond the format. That said, the simple concepts in this book are conveyed with elgance, wonder, and joy that compliment the artwork perfectly. Stunning, poetic, and playful, this one is a delight for all ages."-- Kirkus Reviews "Bedtime stories are a staple for countless children, from epic adventures about kickass princesses to awkwardly improvised tales about talking veggies. Now little readers can also dip their toes into art history with this collection of sleep-related art. The cute cover art also makes My Art Book of Sleep a simple yet gorgeous addition to your bookshelf."-- Bookriot "An intelligent look at art for the youngest of children."-- Waking Brain Cells blog "Parents who hope to inculcate a love of fine art in their toddlers will appreciate My Art Book of Sleep ."-- Meghan Cox Gurdon, Wall Street Journal "Sleep is part of every child's day...and this board book has 35 full-page artworks featuring sleep, accompanied by a brief, tender, read-aloud text."-- Houston Family Magazine "An intelligent look at art for the youngest of children."-- Waking Brain Cells "Shana Gozansky's board books stare head-on at naysayers arguing that fine art isn't for children... Gozansky's board books have the feel of a gift book from a museum exhibit; the cover is thick, textured, and gives the sense that there's a treasure inside... These books provide an introduction to famous works and what we can see in our own human experience through them."-- Cosmic Bookshelf”
