not ideal for putting kids to sleep

the chapters are 1 minute each and each start with an announcement that it's a new chapter, whuch breaks up the flow of a short bedtime story. then it ends with a loud "audible hopes you have enjoyed this story" which I sort of had until that line made my 4 year old open his eyes and sit up.

I need more of these!!!!!!!

I was so sceptical, but I thought it sounded cute and I really wanted to give it a try. I put this book in my wishlist and the day after I was lucky enough to spot it up in exchange for honesty reviews. So I quickly requested a copy. I received this book this afternoon and tonight my 2 year old decided he wasn't having any part of going to bed. He wanted to watch a favorite cartoon and was vehemently letting us know about it. So I asked him if we could lay down and listen to a dinosaur audiobook for bed. (I often listen while driving or cleaning so he knows what they are). I put the book on my phone and hit play. At first he wanted to look at the screen but after 2 minutes or so he realized it wasn't a video and begrudgingly threw his head facedown in the pillow mad. I was afraid the chapter announcements were going to throw off the flow and keep him awake but about halfway through the story I watched him fighting his heavy eyes and trying to move a bit to keep himself up. The book finished and he was still fighting it but he was now clearly very tired so I just hit play again. He didn't even make it halfway through the book this time and he was completely out. I couldn't believe it, it worked!!!!! I will say the story is not exciting but it kept his attention enough he stayed in bed and a huge plus is the author's voice is soothing and most importantly it actually put my 2 year old to sleep!!!! I sincerely hope this author and narrator do more books like these!!! I will happily buy them all!

too short, not even 9 minutes long.

interrupts by saying chapter numbers, waste of money. would like a refund. not soothing or calming at all.

Mist Enjoyable

My grandsons really enjoyed it. They stayed put as the narrator read the story. I loved the one-minute chapters.

Full of words that suggest sleep - it works

This book is full of words and descriptions of dinosaurs and dinosaur children settling down and snuggling in for the night and my daughter rarely makes it to the end of this short book. The power of suggestion seems to work and it puts her to sleep. I love this book and my daughter knows when I put this book on, she won't last long, so she protests. We listen to another book like frog and toad and then back to Sleepysaurus so she'll go to sleep and I can relax.

Brilliant audio book and great performance.

very intelligent

very intelligent bad time story for kids I loved the concept of dinosaurs with words of sleep I think it would calm kids and make them sleep faster I will check it out on my nieces as soon as possible
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review

Kids love it

Great story! My kids love falling asleep to this every night. Thank you for such a nice story.

Waste of money

Way to short and not a quality story. And no happy ending. 15$ a credit and this was not worth the credit
