Synopsis

Little ones can?t sleep? Amuse them with the funny rhyme of this bedtime charmer.

All the Huffles are fast asleep, except for Jack. Someone is snoring! Just who is making this racket? It must be Mama Gwyn. But when Jack wakes her . . . the snore roars on! And so it goes with Baby Sue, the twins, Papa Ben, even the farm animals. At last, the Huffles follow their ears toward a surprising culprit.

From School Library Journal:

Starred Review. PreS–The sky was dark. The stars were bright. Each Huffle fast asleep that night. Except for Jack, who hears a roar of a snore and rouses Old Hound Blue, who is snoring. But the noise continues, and dog and boy set off to find its source, awakening each successive snorer. The crowd grows to include Mama Gwyn, Sweet Baby Sue, Papa Ben, the twins Josie Jo and Jennie Lynn, and the sheep and goat and cow and the hens. As they gather in the barn, they discover that the sound is coming from a tired and homeless kitten who is fast asleep in the hay. Finally, all gather round and fall asleep. Pratt's acrylic illustrations help to create a pace that perfectly complements the rhyming, cumulative text. The details of the pictures, done in vivid, warm colors, add motion and energy to the story. A must-have for all libraries.–Rebecca Sheridan, Easttown Library & Information Center, Berwyn, PA
