Cute illustrations, and I like that the (not) sleepy shark is a girl. A shark named Amelia! I felt like there were way too many named characters for such a short and simple children's book. Amelia meets many other ocean creatures, including (but not limited to) a jellyfish, a crab, a seal, a whale... and they ALL have names. I really don't need to know that the turtle's name is Ada. I feel like the story might make more sense to the audience if it was just Amelia (or the shark) saw a turtle who was swimming with a frown, rather than "Ada, who was swimming with a frown."

Loved the last page that talks about all the creatures resting their bodies and mind so they can wake up full of energy in the morning "because they had recharged and rested." We always tell my 3 year old that he needs to go to sleep and "recharge his batteries!"

I received this book free from NetGalley for in exchange for an honest review.

Cute story about an insomniac shark who swims around helping others who also have trouble sleeping. Though I was partial to the illustrations, the story left me wanting a bit more.

This book fell a bit flat for me. The pictures were beautiful, but didn't necessarily go with the story line. The story itself was really choppy and didn't seem to be that well thought out. My 4-year old enjoyed it once, but it's not a book I want to read to her again and again.

*Thank you to NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.*

Meh..
The story was flat. I don't think this can grab a child's attention.
And I wasn't a fan of this art style.
