Cute idea; could be disturbing to some children. Did not appreciate the gratuitous inclusion of a bedtime story called "The Witch's Booty" about "a witch with a very big butt. In fact, it was so big that when she..."

Roderick is a classic bedtime staller until his parents get him a stuffed animal named Sleepy.

HA! HAHAHA!! Man, I have a Roderick. Every night, I hear, “MOOOOOOM!” and some sort of question or demand or request or something else, so this whole book cracked me up! Sleepy, the Goodnight Buddy is going to be a wonderful story addition to our bedtime routine, and maybe, just maybe, Trent will see that Sleepy is him and Roderick is me. And Scott Campbell is one of my favorite graphic novelists, so the illustrations are just perfectly expressive and a bit crazy.

Hilarious. But like a few of the other Drew Daywalt books I’ve read, I suspect this might be more appealing to frazzled parents than their kids.

This was a funny book about Roderick, who tries everything he can think of to keep from going to bed. His parents get him a "goodnight buddy" to help him sleep and name him Sleepy. Sleepy isn't sleepy, though. In fact, he acts much like Roderick - asking for thing after thing until he wears Roderick out. It's one of those funny books that works for some and not others. In using words like "freaky," "butt," and "darn," this isn't the right choice for my own family, but some will find it just right.

Very glad I listened to my husband reading this one to our children. If I had done it, it would have been creepy, but he gave the weird stuffed animal the perfect mix of innocence and obnoxious toddlerness. Ended up being quite funny.
