Overview

Bedtime story meets Coachella in this adorable book about a sloth who packs up his pajamas to attends an arena festival for nappers, dozers, and the very best sleepyheads.

Snuggleford Cuddlebun is a champion sleeper. In fact, she's such a good sleeper that she decides to go to Snoozefest, an arena festival that celebrates sleep. There, she lounges in her hammock while bands like the Nocturnal Nesters and the Quiet Quartet serenade the audience with lullabies. There's warm milk and honey to be had, designer pajamas from Diane von Firstinbed, and no one dares be seen without a baby blanket. But before she knows it, the nuzzling, snuggling, and dreaming are over—and Snuggleford has slept through it all.

This hilariously endearing bedtime story is perfect for anyone who loves sloths, music festivals, and/or cuddles.

Think of Lollapalooza’s polar opposite and you get SnoozeFest. Held in the igloolike NuzzleDome, it attracts “All the best sleepers in Snoozeville,” including the nominal protagonist, a sloth named Snuggleford Cuddlebun. “Wildcats and wombats and koala bears./ And brown bats and squirrels and giant armadillos” all show up with “their wumphiest, coziest, comfiest things” to bed down en masse before heading home and dreaming of next year. Although the story’s charms are diminished by Berger’s (Crankenstein) overly twee rhymes (“She’s tired and groggy and logy and lazy,/ She’s drooly and foggy, and dusty and hazy”), this knowing, affectionate spoof of music festivals is fresh and timely (bands like “Chamomile Rage” play soporific sets, sleep masks are sold as souvenirs, and a concession stand serves milk and honey). Litten (This Day in June) offers an impressive range of cute, sleep-loving characters, and she’s equally good at conveying the festival’s exceedingly mellow vibes, especially when the lights go down, lanterns glow, and the crowd just can’t restrain itsdrowsiness. Ages 3–5. Author’s agent: Brenda Bowen, Sanford J. Greenburger Associates. Illustrator’s agent: Alan Lynch, Arena Illustration. (Jan.)

It's not Woodstock. It's not Coachella. It's SnoozeFest—and it's for sleeping!Snuggleford the sloth lives in the rural town of Snoozeville. In her bedroom, in a red bed, she sleeps for a month at a time, smiling. Only one thing gets her up and out the front door: SnoozeFest. Carrying a snazzy suitcase with zigzag stripes, Snuggleford joins a crowd—bears, koalas, cats—on the bus to the NuzzleDome. Once there, she chooses her sleeping nook (hammock No. 16), buys snacks (milk and honey) and purchases band swag. A pajama fashion show spotlights the famous designers Louis Futon and Diane von Firstinbed. Bands play, among them Chamomile Rage and Drowsy Duet. Participants fall blissfully asleep throughout, as do some musicians (mid-gig!). While adults will recognize the festival concept better than kids, preschoolers will love the sleep-tailored diction ("naptacular"; "tire-riffic") and rollicking verse, such as this description of a critical component: "Some of the blankets are in mint condition. / Others collectible, rare, first edition. / Some are so old, they're all tattered and torn. / This sloth has had hers since the day she was born." Litten's digitally created illustrations don't quite match the wit of Berger's verse, but they're quaint and homey, and her nighttime-at-the-fest spreads are done in an inviting deep purple with sparkling lights. No snoozefest here—great fun. (Picture book. 3-6)
