Reviews

"Sam Can't Sleep" by author/storyteller Davide Cali and artist/illustrator Anna Aparicio Catala is the perfect "can't-get-to-sleep" bedtime picture book story for family, daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community library collections for children ages 4-8.--Midwest Book Review, Childrens Bookwatch
Silk screen-like art. The dialogue reminds me of a folktale, with the wise animals giving the young one counsel. Several wordless pages invite young readers to examine the expressions on the animals' faces and to infer their meanings. A nice offering for bedtime.---Youth Services Book Review
The artwork in this book is lovely! The colors are really great, with animals that pop and a really cool, artistic vibe. The story is simple, but will make young children giggle as all the animals tell Sam that they are trying to sleep. When the answer comes as to why Sam can't sleep, even more silliness ensues. Children who have trouble sleeping sometimes will understand how Sam feels and enjoy his story.--YA Books Central
