PIP/ Kids Book Review and Giveaway?CLOSED: Shushybye Sleepover Surprise Book and CD

We were recently sent the follow-up to the debut award winning SHUSHYBYE bedtime picture storybook, SHUSHYBYE: CLOSE YOUR EYES, to review and it has become a hit in our house already!

In SHUSHYBYE: SLEEPOVER SURPRISE readers return to the magical land of Shushybye where the Shushies – who live in such villages as Nap Valley and Snore Shore – make dreams for children. In SHUSHYBYE: SLEEPOVER SURPRISE Shushy best friends Snoozles, Dozie and Zeez,  discover there doesn’t have to be an occasion to be nice to your friends. Isn't that a GREAT thing to teach a young child???


After Dozie bakes Snoozles and Zeez one of her famous Sky Pies, the two Shushies think of a special way to let her know how much they care about her friendship.  Together, they plan a concert at The House of Snooze in Dozie's honor. The book also introduces a pair of very comical Shushies, Snort and Wheez, who drive the Shushybye Dream Van to pick up all the completed Dream Boxes and bring them to Conductor McCloud, a very important job!   Included inside the bookis a ReadAlong/SingAlong audio CD that includes the popular “Shushybye Blues” song and two other original songs, along with the entire story narrated by our official Shushybye storyteller, XM KiDS’ morning personality Kenny Curtis (and the voices of all the Shushies).

The book also features a glow-in-the-dark front cover , which I realized belatedly after turning off the lights after my daughter was asleep, and being startled by a string of stars on the book! It was a pleasant surprise though, and one that my daughter enjoyed on the next reading when I showed her!

The book is VERY cute- my daughter was entranced by the thought of a whole other world and how her dreams come to her! As she loves trains, the thought that they get brought on a train enthralled her immensly! We also had to make some star cookies the next day after the first reading, as that was the type Dozie makes, so be forewarned! LOL.My daughter loves Dragon Tales which also allows children to visit another land and she easily became immersed in the book! I have to admit she didn't like me singing the Shushabye Blues to her (lyrics included in the book). She liked it better when we listened to the cd on the next reading, and she hummed along with the Shushybye Dream Band (who will be announcing some tour dates soon and you can log on to the site and find out if they'll be playing anywhere near you!

The Shushybye website also has great related products like pajamas and plush toys, besides the two Shushybye books! They even have videos of the TV show (which I didn't know about til I got the book info, as it's on a channel we don't get!). You can check out a sample of the TV show Here on You Tube.

Thanks to Cara over at SSA Public Relations, for sending me the book/cd to review AND for offering one of my lovely readers the same book/cd!
