"Down the Sleepy River" is a bedtime story book for very young children. The story book is one that incorporates some very simple mindfulness techniques. The story book has lots of beautiful illustrations and I think its aim is to calm children down ready to go to sleep at night. While I really liked the idea of this mindfulness based children's book and I liked the many lovely illustrations, I found that there was not that much of a story and the mindfulness activities were quite repetitive. I did wonder if a child may find it just a little bit boring, although many young children do often like repetition so perhaps it would go down well with them! I think it would depend on the child but "Down the Sleepy River" could be a very nice book to read whilst spending some lovely quality time with your child or children before they snuggle down to bed!
