Do Mommies Ever Sleep? - by Kim Howard (Hardcover)

About the Book

"A baby imagines all the reasons why mommies never seem to sleep, failing to understand that it is often because babies need so much attention"--

Book Synopsis

THE PERFECT GIFT FOR NEW MOMS! Figure out what's keeping Mommy up all night in this funny rhyming story told from baby's point of view.

Mommy looks SO tired. I'll show her bedtime's fun! There's lots of tricks to get to sleep. I'LL TEACH HER HOW IT'S DONE!

Baby can't help but wonder why Mommy never gets any sleep. Maybe Mommy doesn't sleep because she lost her paci? Or she's really hungry--or maybe she's too gassy? Could the reason be not such a big mystery after all? But baby also has some wise and witty advice for all those mommies who never rest...

This funny tribute to the exhausting work of raising an infant, cleverly told from the baby's point of view, provides plenty of much-needed laughs for all those sleepless nights (and days)!
