It is one of the few books we own that completely captures my little boy's attention. He sits and studies the big, fanciful watercolor illustrations and listens to the soothing refrains of the verses and is lulled into a quieter state. He knows it's his special bedtime story and loves it.Every page is generously illustrated with lavish watercolors of children and animals winding down for a night's rest. For example, you have a small child perched on the back of a drifting swan as though going on the journey of sleep amd dreams for the evening. There is a child curled up with a sleeping panda in the fork of a tree branch. The interactions between people and children really appeal to small ones and encourage them to use their imaginations.I found the soothing, repetitious verses with the refrain of "It's time to sleep, my love" to be soothing. The School Lobrary Journal criticized the writing stating that it was too redundant. My son finds it restful and it lulls him to sleep. They also complained that some of the verses would trip up parent tongues. I found the beauty of the words and verses to be old-fashioned and a little reminiscent of old poetry. We used to appreciate finding beauty and meaning in words, and it is beneficial to children to make them think. Overall, I thought the wording was fanciful, simple, and lovely.I highly recommend this book for your child and hope you get as much enjoyment out of the bedtime tradition as we have. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recommend this and "On the Night You Were Born" for every kid *by A***R on September 11, 2010* We just got these two books yesterday and I'm blown away by both of them. My two-year-old is more of a Harold fan right now (Harold and the Purple Crayon) and has been put out with me for reading these the two times I have so far, but I'm sure when he gives them a listen he'll love them. I can see these books lasting for many years to come. I have to disagree with what appears to be the majority and say that I've found this a slightly better book than "On the Night You Were Born." Perhaps it's just my personal taste. I'll try to highlight the reasons I like this one better.It's time to sleep my love:Has more spectacular illustrations, in my opinionRhymes are all perfect, or nearlyRhythm is perfect, (the reason it's described as a lullaby)Text is more evenly distributed, 1-2 lines per page (4 or so on the last few pages) so each page gets roughly equal face time without disrupting the story, also helps with the soothing bedtime rhythm.Is so sweet it makes me cry every timeOn the Night You Were Born:Also has beautiful illustrationsRhymes are sometimes there, sometimes not, which works if you know what's coming but this annoys me a bitRhythm also works if you know what's coming but is not even throughoutText is not as evenly distributed. One page has three words and another has eight lines. You have to flip past the short ones pretty quickly to keep the story moving which is sad because they're so beautiful I'd like to spend a little more time on each. This is not a big deal and the book is still wonderfulAlso is so sweet it makes me cry every timeTells kids that they are unique and special and lovedGet both these books, you'll be happy you did! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So sweet. *by S***Y on May 19, 2024* What a beautiful book. I just love all of Nancy tillman’s baby books. They are gorgeously illustrated and rhyme so well. In love. ## Frequently Bought Together - It's Time to Sleep, My Love - Wherever You Are: My Love Will Find You - On the Night You Were Born --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/4170544-its-time-to-sleep-my-love](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/4170544-its-time-to-sleep-my-love) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
