The zoo animals find a way to keep the baby beebee bird awake during the day so that they can get some sleep at night.

In this book the bird sings all night while the other animals try to sleep, so when he foes to sleep they make noise to teach him a lesson. This book is great for grades k-5. The class could draw and label different animals. Also they can tell what sound the animal makes.

this is best read w/ 2 people, so one can do the beebeebobbi noise, and other animal noises, while the other reads.

This book is good for children in kindergarten. After the beebee bird makes noise while the others sleep, they do the same to him. Then the bird realizes it's not nice to make noise at night. Just a fun book for children to read.

Unfortunately, this book portrays virtually all the animals as gendered male -- unrealistic and contributing to the general misapprehension of children that animals are male unless they're visibly with a baby. So I can't recommend this book unless you're able to re-gender on the fly -- referring to

some of the animals as "she" instead of "he" to make it more balanced and realistic. But then you can't show your child the letters as you're reading. Disappointing that the author made such a basic mistake, in what would otherwise be a fun zoo animal book.

This hillarious book is about zoo animals who uses their wits to get a singing beebee bird to go to sleep at night. I could use this book to show that daytime is for play and nighttime is for sleeping.

In this story, a group of zoo animals are kept up all night by a singing bird. They work together to solve their problem. This book could be used to teach a lesson about being ready to calm down your body and rest at bedtime.
