Snoozefest

Snoozefest written by Samantha Berger and illustrated by Kristyna Litten (2015)

Snuggleford Cuddlebun is the sleepiest sloth in Snoozeville. She doesn’t get up for much, except the annual Snoozefest at the Nuzzledome. And today is the day! She gets her ticket punched and her hand stamped, and then with hundreds of other fans stakes out her place in a hammock near the stage. Everyone in attendance has brought their blankets, pillows, and bedtime favorites. Snuggleford stops for a snack and picks up some swag from the bands, then settles in to listen to the music. Before long, Snuggleford is sound asleep, dreaming sweet dreams. Several days later, after almost everyone else has packed up and gone home, Snuggleford wakes and returns to her own comfy bed.

Samantha Berger and Kristyna Litten have my vote for top sleepy time story. I give it 5 Zzzzz. It’s so mesmerizing, you’ll have to be careful not to fall asleep while reading. Show off your most stylish sleepwear and listen to the rhythm of The Nocturnal Nesters, the Quiet Quartet, and Deep Hiber-Nation. I’ll meet you on the other side of my eyelids!
