Beep! Beep! Go to Sleep!

We first took this book out of the library, and I was super skeptical. In fact, I didn't even want to read it. I'm an older mom and kind of old school, I guess, because I often don't like the move in children's books to wacky fonts, postmodern collage-y text, and so on. The big "beep, beep" and different colored fonts initially deterred me.However, this has turned into one of my favorite children's book and certainly my favorite one published in the past decade. It's clever. It's cute. It's so rich in detail that every time I read it I notice some new aspect of the illustrations that just completely delight me. And, most importantly (I guess), kids love it (my son and nephews).The storyline is sweet and clever: the little boy is in the role of parent trying to get his robots to bed and asleep; followed by another twist--the robots are actually putting him to bed and to sleep. It's the traditional telling of the bedtime routine as bed time story, but with a great twist. I also love the things that the robot's say that imitate what children say at bed time but are robot specific,The illustrations are loaded with such fun details: the expression on the little boy's face as his robots run amuck in the bathroom; the robots actually turning out the lights, closing the books, etc.; the mouse with the eye mask to block out the light one of the robot's needs on. Priceless.Oh--and those multicolored fonts? They are color coordinated to the robots and the boy's pajamas. Amazing attention to detail with this book.And yes, my son likes it too:)

I found this at the library and my daughter loved it so much we had to buy it. We read this almost every night before my daughter (3 y/o) goes to sleep. She loves doing robot voices and helping with the beep beeps. The story is quick and fun to read. The illustration is beautiful and detailed. I’ve bought another as a gift for my nephew. Highly recommend reading

This book is ADORABLE! The artwork is absolutely gorgeous and the story is very clever. My 3 year old grandson lives in Italy and is obsessed with robots. I have to find ways to connect with him over FaceTime and this has been a winner! He will definitely come running to the phone if I will read “Beep Beep Go to Sleep” to him!

This is the perfect bedtime story. Its short, sweet sentences and brightly colored imagery work perfectly to satisfy the most demanding of customers! Both my boys love this book and have pretty much memorized this by heart. They have even come up with their own little parody of the book. The mouse is a great touch! We originally stumbled across this at the library, and when my youngest fell in love with it we knew we had to own a copy. Kudos to the authors because they really understand little robots! I hope there's a sequel of some kind...maybe a breakfast story or a camping story! A highly recommended read.

I have a robot-obsessed almost-four-year-old and we love reading this book together. The illustrations are fantastic and the robots are just so darn cute. Our favorite part is playing up the exasperated "GO TO SLEEP!" part. The "twist" ending is sweet as well.

This book is imply adorable! John Rocco does it again! Beep! Beep! tells the comical story of a young boy trying to get a good night's rest while dealing with rambunctious robots at the same time. The use of primary and warm colors is both aesthetically pleasing and perfect for the development of young readers. I would highly recommend this sweet story.

Ordered this for my one year-old grandson. My daughter says he loves the book and calls it “Ma bup, ma bup!” Such a precious story.

Sweet book. One of my three year old favorites! He loved it so much I purchased this one for a boy baby shower gift. Also, this is one of the few books my husband actually enjoys reading to our son at night.

Great illustrations.Very good children's book.

Kids love this book. It always makes them giggle
