After you’ve read Go Sleep in Your Own Bed! try this book:
Go Sleep in Your Own Bed!
When Pig plops into his sty at bedtime, he finds Cow fast asleep in his spot.
“Go sleep in your own bed!” he squeals, and sends her packing.
But when Cow finally snuggles down into her stall, she finds Hen sleeping there.
So begins a chain reaction of snoozing barnyard animals being awakened and sent off to their own beds, until every last one is in just the right place. Young children will delight in repeating the refrain “Go sleep in your own bed!” and laugh at the antics of these hilarious — and very sleepy — farm animals.
