Book Description
Cooper just can't fall asleep! But Mama has an idea. Setting new stories to familiar tunes, Mama shares six new lullabies with her not-so-sleepy son. Which Kanga will be the first one to dreamland?
This merry story--with original lullabies--was created by the talented author of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, Laura Numeroff. The sonorous text is paired with art by illustrator Lynn Munsinger--known for her kid-friendly characters like Tacky the Penguin and Wodney Wat. Pair this with Lots of Lambs for another Numeroff/Munsinger treat!


School Library Journal
Mother Kangaroo establishes a ritual of singing lullabies to young Cooper before bedtime. However, like any typically energetic child, the joey has difficulty settling down: “I can't sleep.” But his mama presses on, creating her own verses to six childhood favorite melodies such as “Rock-a-Bye Baby” and “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,” as Cooper keeps asking for another. Rhymed couplets that read aloud easily move the story along between the clever ditties. Comforting illustrations show soft curving lines of text as well as gestures of warm hugs on the couch, amid the exuberant antics of Cooper, who is pictured climbing on the back of the sofa and holding a toy sailboat. A witty conclusion will leave both adults and children smiling. Although bedtime stories are in abundance, this one is a winner.


Booklist
A baby kangaroo named Cooper is in his jammies awaiting a bedtime song. So mama sings one that’ll be familiar to little ones everywhere, set to the tune of “Rock-a-Bye Baby,” and it goes a little something like this: “There’s a pig sailing / in a small boat / Going so slowly / Floating along.” When Cooper’s mama is finished, the little joey is still wide awake and requesting more songs. The interludes between each ditty can feel forced-I think that song was very nice. / Now do you know any songs about mice?-but the six lullabies themselves are a ton of fun and make for a nice accompaniment to bedtime. Like Cooper, kids may want to have the last solo of the evening. Munsinger’s warm, accessible illustrations depict cozy single-page scenes of the kangaroos cuddling, interspersed by double-page spreads of the lullabies, some comprised entirely of energetic spot illustrations. This offering by a well-known duo is sure to become a well-worn, well-sung favorite.


Kirkus
"As lullabies go, the familiar tunes with the new lyrics may just keep sleepyheads entertained for a few go-rounds, and sleep can wait."


Publishers Weekly
"Numeroff strikes just the right balance of silly and sweet as she injects fresh thinking into six musical chestnuts . . . As always, Munsinger's anthropomorphized animals are quietly marvelous, exuding tenderness, sly comedy, and astute observation."
