What a wonderful story and song. Nice hardcover and nice thick, quality paper. Such a very nice book! Shipping time was exactly what was expressed in the checkout page, less than two weeks. So glad I decided to get this!
Mark R –
Thanks for the excellent book guys! My 3 year old son really enjoys the Sleepytown Express, its currently his number 1 bedtime request! He quietly listens all the way through, and it winds him down nicely for the night. Its great I’ve got both sons featured in it, along with Mummy & Daddy and favourite toys, so my youngest will have it next!
