We were huge fans of Dunrea's adorable little books when the girls were toddlers. It's been a few years now, but I was delighted to pick this one up. Gideon is a little turbo-charged bird, going full-tilt all day. I heard Samuel Jackson narrating this in my head as I read, as in the audio of [b:Go the Fuck to Sleep|11192642|Go the Fuck to Sleep|Adam Mansbach|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1342861907s/11192642.jpg|16117490]

Gideon is too busy to listen to his mother and take a nap. The pictures are sharp and simple and the concept is easily relatable for young children. Gideon is too busy playing, he doesnt want to take the nap his mother suggests. He plays with the pigs, the hens, he tries to find eggs, he talks to a frog, he does all sorts of things. Its an adorable look on what a child often goes through, but personified by animals. ( )
