From the New York Times bestselling author of Miss Brooks Loves Books! (and I don’t) comes a gentle bedtime book that includes a proven relaxation technique parents can use to help their little ones go to sleep after an exciting day. The sun has set and dinner is done, but Fiona is still excited about the day and is not at all ready for bed. So her mom helps her settle down with their nightly ritual of sending each part of her—from her toes to her nose—off to sleep. As Fiona relaxes her body, she recalls a marvelous day at the beach where feet were for stomping in the waves, legs were for running after cousins, tummy was for holding strawberries, and arms were for catching beach balls. And bit by bit, memory by memory, Fiona slips from a great day into a good night. Barbara Bottner and Maggie Smith create an action-packed day to remember and provide parents with a wonderful technique for helping their own busy little ones drift peacefully off to sleep.

From School Library Journal K-Gr 2—Veteran author and illustrator Bottner and Smith team up to create a charming seaside bedtime story. Pajama-clad Fiona is standing on her head on her bed when Mama comes to tell her it is "time to say good night." Fiona clearly is not sleepy, but Mama suggests that she must be tired "from her head to her toes." Thus the scene is set for each successive page turn, as Fiona acquiesces and commands first her toes, then her feet, then her knees, legs and tummy, her shoulders, her arms, hands and fingers, then her mouth and finally her ears, to "go to sleep." Inset pictures on every page show Fiona gradually settling into her bed and relaxing each part of her body. The full-page illustrations behind the insets depict Fiona and her family enjoying their day at the beach. "Feet were for stomping in the waves…. Legs were for running after the cousins…. Arms were for catching the beach ball." After Fiona has focused on and relaxed every bit of her body she is able to close her eyes and drift off. Smith's colorful mixed-media illustrations exude all the fun of a summer's day spent at the ocean, topped off with a barbecue picnic dinner on the beach house lawn. The dual-scene spreads include just enough detail to juxtapose the excitement of the day with the scenario of a child learning to soothe herself to sleep. VERDICT A gentle, joyous addition to most collections.—Lynn Van Auken, Oak Bluffs School, Oak Bluffs, MA

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Cute book for bedtime By Liviania When I saw the cover of FEET, GO TO SLEEP, I knew my niece would enjoy the book. The little girl wearing glasses and doing a headstand would definitely appeal to her. (My niece is currently working on her aerial and generally terrifying any adult in her vicinity.) It's also aimed right at my nephew's age group.Barbara Bottner's text walks that little girl, Fiona, through going to sleep, body part by body part. Maggie Smith's images work well with the text. The book has a dual-image layout, where Fiona going to sleep is in a small box and the bigger image shows just how she used that body part on her seaside vacation. The text and illustrations work very well together.One touch I particularly loved is that Fiona's cousins (who she chases with her legs) are black. It's a small detail that isn't commented on, but is appreciated. Children are great at picking over the details in picture books through multiple readings.I'm sure any adult who reads kids to sleep is used to the cry of "One more book!" FEET, GO TO SLEEP makes for a good finish to bedtime reading. Fiona's method of going to sleep, bit by bit, is very helpful and soothing. (The details about how Fiona gets up to mischief during the day do keep the book from being a snore.) FEET, GO TO SLEEP is a good nighttime read.
