Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
My First How to Catch the Sandman
Alice Walstead · 2024
77/100
👍 Worth It
The How to Catch series has earned its bestseller status and this toddler-board-book entry delivers what parents want at bedtime: cheerful rhymes, friendly illustrations, and a sleepy-time arc that points kids toward dreams. Weaving in light STEM trap-setting concepts is a smart touch that gives parents something to talk about. Very brief by design, but it does its bedtime job well.
