I purchased "Even Whales Go To Bed" for my grandson! The story is absolutely adorable and teaches why sleep is so important. My grandson's image and personality shines through on every page. I am taking the book with me when I go for the birth of my second grandson. I am SO EXCITED to read this book with my grandson and see his face when he sees his image on the beautiful illustrated pages and hears his name as we read about his adventures!
Omg the authentication of this book and how well it is out together. The pictures to the font. I love my son as books of himself to show him who the real hero is of his life
