Loved it! 😍
"Tilly and the Sleepyhead Sun" is an interactive storybook with silly moments and images that'll appeal to any size audience.
Come along with Tilly the owl on an adventure as she tries to wake up a sleepyhead sun who never rose with the morning. With silly and witty efforts, Tilly tries desperately to save the day!
In the middle of a little village rested a tall clock tower, and at its tip lived a little brown owl named Tilly. Tilly maintained the clock. She polished the bell until it was shiny. The owl would sound the bell in the morning, alerting the villagers it was time to start their day. She had a significant role in making the day run smoothly, more than she ever realized.
One day, Tilly was sleepy and decided to stay in bed longer than usual. Little did she know, so did the sun. The village remained dark without the sun's rays, and the residents stayed asleep. The town was quiet from everyone snoozing the day away. Even the birds weren't singing.
Tilly attempted to wake the sun in several different ways. The dear, sweet owl tried to coax the sun awake with delicious, smelling foods that might make readers' mouths water. She used loud instruments and slipped on a pair of tap dancing shoes. Nothing worked!
Tilly brainstormed ways to wake the sun, so the day could officially begin. Before you read how Tilly finally woke the sleeping sun, ask your young listeners what other ways might work. Get your child engaged in the story by having them grab maracas, pots and pans, party blowers, or any other loud instrument, and join Tilly as she tries to wake the sun using loud sounds. Have them get up and stomp or dance with Tilly.
Tilly and the Sleepyhead Sun by Emily Pray is an interactive storybook with lovely illustrations. (Artist: Emma Slawson). It has silly moments and images that'll appeal to any size audience: home or school. I particularly loved the snoring sun and the tap-dancing owl.
I recommend Tilly and the Sleepyhead Sun to children from three to nine years of age.
