Bring a moment of calm to the end of a busy day with this Sleepy Soundbook--combining 10 soothing sounds with an adorable story.
Here come the passengers, tickets at the ready: Lullaby the leopard, Rockabye the rabbit, Starlight the sloth . . . everyone is here, for a trip on the Dreamland Express ! And readers can join the journey--press the star on each page to bring the sounds of the story to life.
The train winds through a forest ; past a gently flowing river ; through and under a waterfall ; around a park full of birdsong ; to the seaside ; up into the mountains ; under a sky full of stars ; into a station, where crickets are chirping ; and then into a cozy mountain cabin, where the fire crackles and a soothing song sends the little friends to sleep.
This sound book features:
10 touch-activated, ten-second sound clips , each one a blend of calming noises from nature and soft, sleepy instrumental music . Rhythmic, tactile sounds including crickets chirping and the gentle crackle of a fire--offering ASMR appeal and creating an immersive experience that should help children feel cocooned and calm. A calm and cozy story with adorable animal characters, told in words that are simple and soothing: to be read slowly and softly. Hand-painted artwork from Canadian artist Lauren Degraaf, rich with details of the train's journey. The result is a gentle sensory wind-down . . . A story to charm and inspire, illustrations to get lost in, and sounds to send little ones drifting off on their own trip to Dreamland!
