Little Bunny can’t sleep so he tries to sleep at his friends houses. He soon finds out each house has something different than home and he still can’t sleep. The pictures are great! They go with the story very well and were beautifully drawn. This is a great kids books!
Very cute story that both my daughter and I enjoyed. After finishing it my 5 year old said “maybe I can be brave and stay in my own room all night.” Let’s hope! Haha
Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the digital copy in exchange for an honest review!
This fun little read may be a little too adventuresome to be the last-thing-at-night book, but whenever you read it will be well appreciated. Little Bunny, with no siblings or anything, gets lonely one night, and so calls on all the friends he can think of in his neighbourhood asking for a sleepover. One by one they all say yes – and then one by one they provide a good excuse for Little Bunny to regret the choice and move on. Until the inevitable. It's a good advert for home comforts, and how what is perfect for someone might be horridly awful for someone else, and it's certainly got the visual appeal to justify a 2022 reprint. Four and a half stars.
Cute bedtime story for kids. A little sleepy bunny is lonely all alone in his bed so he decides to visit a friend for some sleepover company. But he finds everyone sleeps a bit different and has a hard time trying several friends. He decides to go home to his own bed and is finally able to sleep.
The artwork for the book is cute and fun. Reminds me of books I read as a child.
The downside for me is that the words don't always flow seamlessly. But still a book I would read to my children.
Adorable!!
The illustrations and story felt too familiar but noway to know if I've read this as a kid or not.
One thing's certain, I am definitely reading it to the little ones in my family.
This was incredibly adorable, with pretty illustrations ( love this type of illustrations ) and truthfully an engaging and funny plot.
Time to retire Goldilocks and usher in the era of this book.
Little Bunny is an only child who gets lonely sometimes. One night, he decides he’d rather have a sleepover with a friend than spend one more night alone. Though his friends welcome him one by one, there’s always something that keeps Little Bunny from getting to sleep. Will he ever be able to find a good night’s rest?
I really enjoyed the art of this book. It was reminiscent of illustrations in the books I read growing up. The artist utilized a lovely, cool range of colors, and the pictures often took up the whole page.
Throughout his quest for good sleep, Little Bunny got a little rude in some places, such as shouting at Owl to turn out the lights in his own house. While this isn’t ideal, it could be a good way to talk to your kids about politely addressing situations that are frustrating.
Overall, this is a cute book that could be a fun read when children are having a difficult time getting to sleep.

Little Bunny is a single child and loves it most of the time. But one day, he feels lonely. He doesn’t want to sleep on his own. He decides to go to his friend’s place for a sleepover. He moves from one house to another, the squirrel to skunk to porcupine, bear, and owl. None of the places are comfortable for different reasons. Finally, he gets back home and realizes that his bed is the best place to be.
The story is simple and cute. Little B gives his reason for not being able to sleep at the friends’ places and moves to another. He says please and thank you too. Just one part I didn’t entirely like was when he yells in the owl’s house. You don’t do that, kiddo. But then, he was tired from constantly moving around when he should have been sleeping.
The illustrations are very well done. The detailing is pretty, and the color scheme sets the tone of the book. Kids will enjoy this one.

Little Bunny’s Sleepless Night is a engaging story about being thankful for what you have.
Little bunny couldn’t sleep because he was lonely. So he decides to go sleep at his friend squirrel’s house, but he’s to noisy eating acorns in the night. From there he visits multiple other animal friends before deciding to come back to his own bed.
The illustrations and beautiful and my son thought the story was really funny.

Squirrel, Skunk, Porcupine, Bear and Owl each let him into their beds but each has a habit that keeps bunny awake. Finally, he goes back home and falls asleep in his own comfortable bed.

Little Bunny's Sleepless Night is a sweet story perfect for bedtime! Little Bunny has trouble falling asleep because he's feeling lonely and goes on a journey to find a friend to keep him company during bedtime. He asks Squirrel, Skunk, Porcupine, Bear, and Owl but realizes that there is no place like home.
The illustrations by Valeri Gorbachev are whimsical and adorable! I giggled when I came across the picture when Little Bunny gets poked by Porcupine's quill. Little children will have a blast listening to this story and perusing the illustrations before bedtime.
Thank you NetGalley and NorthSouth Books for the digital copy. All opinions are my own.
The cover of this book is what drew me to it. All of the illustrations are so well drawn.
This book is perfect for a kids bedtime story. The book is about a bunny that is too lonely to sleep so he goes to all his friends houses hoping to sleep over. In the end he realizes his own be is just perfect.
A story about a bunny who gets too lonely to sleep alone so he goes around asking his diverse animal neighbors/friends to see if he can sleep with them to feel less lonely. This is a good book for children with no siblings and for children who love stories with animals. The graphics are nostalgic for me and remind me of the Little Critter Collection. A good theme about appreciating what you have.

What a unique perspective to share with young readers!!
Little Bunny is having trouble sleeping because he is lonely, so he goes to a few of his friends to stay at their house. At each friend's home he finds something that hinders him from falling asleep. And in the end, he finds “there’s no place like home”. What I found most distinctive about this story is first, the use of manners. Little Bunny tells each friend “thanks for having me but I cant sleep here because” and lets his friends know why he is unable to sleep there. I think it is wonderful to teach children as early as possible to respectfully communicate even if it is something they don’t like or don’t want. Next, I found it very powerful to teach children that it is ok to feel lonely and to learn to accept it. We, as parents, often want to “fix” feelings of boredom, loneliness and even sadness but it is an important life lesson to learn to sit with these emotions and get through them.
A charming tale with a mix of important life lessons—LOVE IT!!
Grateful to have received a digital copy of this book from NetGalley & North South Book Inc.
Being an insomniac and night owl who's all too familiar with sleepless nights, I didn't hesitate to grab this adorable picture book. What a cute and delightful read! It was exactly the perk-me-up that I needed.
Not only did I enjoy meeting Little Bunny and all his friends, I was also pleasantly surprised by the takeaway (I went into this blind). I loved the art style as well, especially since it reminded me of some of my childhood books and had me feeling nostalgic. Very whimsical, charming and heartwarming indeed.
Little Bunny's Sleepless Night is a great bedtime book. It takes us on an adventure as Little Bunny tries to sleep over at many friends' homes. I liked the illustrations of all the different animals.
