Books like I'm Not Sleepy

A baby owl is being put to bed by his Grandma, but poor Grandma keeps having to go up and down the tree for various things the baby owl needs before he can go to sleep. Even after all the to-ing and fro-ing the baby owl still isn't sleepy. Grandma has the excellent idea of swapping places because one of them has to go to sleep. After the baby owl has been up and down the tree several times fetching things for Grandma, he finds he is tired after all and finally goes to sleep.This book is ridiculously cute and reminds me of the Jonathan Allen books featuring a baby owl, (one of which is also called 'I'm Not Sleepy!'). I particularly like that it features a Grandma instead of a mum or dad because the relationship between children and grandparents is often a very special and important one. I would use this book with Nursery and Reception. It provides a lovely way to talk about routines at bedtime and times of day, offering a lead-in to light and dark as well.
