<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Arlo is a very tired lion, and he's tried everything to get to sleep. But the grass is too prickly, the trees are too noisy, and his family wriggles awfully too much. Goodness! How is an exhausted lion ever to get a wink of shut-eye? Luckily, owl has a few tricks up her sleeve and Arlo couldn't be happier to give them a whirl. Perfect for reluctant or troubled sleepers, author-illustrator Catherine Rayner's gorgeous illustrations capture a gentle and humorous bedtime story that has a calming, meditative message of mindfulness and centeredness"--Amazon.com.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>A beautiful, meditative bedtime book about a lion who can't sleep--until a friend offers sage advice.

Gentle and gorgeous." --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>, STARRED REVIEW</p><p>"[Arlo] is rendered by the writer-illustrator Catherine Rayner in a liquid, blobby, swirly style, barely held together by strong black outlines, which to my eye underscores just how desperate he is to slip the bonds of consciousness.... [A] pretty wash of a painting...shows the lion bleeding into a landscape that itself seems to be bleeding into air--an illustration that looks the way the drift and untethering of falling asleep feels." --<i>New York Times</i></b></p><p>Arlo is a very tired lion, and he's tried everything to get to sleep.

The lullaby portion of the story appears in wavy lines, emphasizing its lyric qualities. Rayner's full-bleed mixed-media spreads skillfully depict the flora and fauna of an African savanna. She makes good use of vivid hues for the sky...many will find it a welcome soporific." --Booklist<br><br>"Spellbinding...alluringly tranquil...
