    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!
