Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Swedish hypnosis? Yes, I will try ANYTHING to get my 3 yo to fall asleep quickly and STAY asleep, in her bed the whole night, but this book was NOT it. Heard about it from a friend on Facebook and ordered it immediately instead of requesting it as a present or waiting for it from the library. My 3 yo said, "Dis book is boring!" as she was jumping up and down on her bed as I'm trying to read in a slow calm voice. The pictures are nightmare-inducing. The Sleepy Snail looks like an aging-Steve Buscemi-worm and the wizard's house makes me think there's a witch waiting inside to cook me. Remember when Homer Simpson builds that clown bed for Bart? That bed is less scary than the wizard's house. Plus it was translated from the Swedish (and apparently not edited AT ALL). But, I pretty much hate all books translated from Swedish. Stieg Larsson, John Ajvide Lindqvist, IKEA directions (That last one was a joke, obvs.). This is a direct quote from the book. "After a pause with relaxation the kind Sleepy Snail said that the secret is to calm down and to do everything in a more slowly manner. Walk slowly, so slowly. Move slowly, so slowly. Think slowly, breathe slowly and calm, slow and calm, just down down now." So my kid will be sleep deprived AND speak with bad adverbs? I know I'm tired, but I can't do that to my kid. Good ol' Amazon refunded me.
