‘Sleep Train’ by Jonathan London, illustrated by Lauren Eldridge, is a sweet bedtime story for lovers of rhythm, counting, and the way noises caress you to sleep. The boy in the story is trying to read a book while in bed, and finds himself counting the train cars and lulling himself into a sleepy state. The illustrations help to bring further depth to the book and increase the emotion one might feel while trying to enjoy something, yet feeling the pull of something else (in this case, sleep).

The setting of a darkened night during which the train is passing through is the perfect backdrop against which the boy can count and enjoy the view from his sleeping car. Join countless others who have always dreamed of an escape into the night like ‘Sleep Train’ provides, bringing further interest to the fun of counting and enjoying time doing something one loves.
