Ira is thrilled about his first sleepover at his friend Reggie's house, until his sister makes him question taking his favorite teddy bear! Will Reggie laugh at his teddy bear? Can Ira sleep without it? A funny back-and-forth ensues in this classic picture book about staying true to yourself. A perfect read-aloud for every young reader with their own bedtime friends. Review: A perfect read, in great condition! - I love this book! I read it to my children and now I'm reading it to my granddaughter. The book was in perfect condition. Review: "Is that your teddy bear?" - Ira has a dilemma - he is thrilled to be invited over to Reggie's house for his very first sleep over, but his older sister got him really thinking. At home Ira sleeps with a teddy bear named Tah Tah. He's never slept without him. But what will Reggie think if he knew Ira slept with a teddy bear? What would Reggie say if he learned the bear's name is Tah Tah? "Suppose Ira doesn't like sleeping without his teddy bear. Suppose he absolutely hates sleeping without his teddy bear. Should he take his teddy bear with him? Will Reggie laugh at him?" Ira Sleeps Over is an outstanding, read-aloud bedtime tale. It is written with a firm grasp of kindergarten logic and will appeal to children and parents alike. Bernard Waber did a wonderful job of properly pacing the dialogue and it really is a delight to read out loud. There are a couple characters, providing an enjoyable opportunity to affect different voices and even different styles for the same character at different times. The book runs 48 pages, but it is very easy to finish in under ten minutes. My wife and I frequently read it to our two boys. It is a favorite of our 4-year-old and occupies a proud place among the top bedtime books on our shelf. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #51,890 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #363 in Children’s Books on Sleep #387 in Children's New Experiences Books #1,755 in Children's Friendship Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 466 Reviews | ## Images ![Ira Sleeps Over - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71zRbo8j2ML.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A perfect read, in great condition! *by A***R on September 18, 2025* I love this book!

Ira Sleeps Over is a timeless and relatively undiscovered jewel of a story that was a favorite of mine when I was a kid and now is a favorite of our three boys almost forty years later. No helicopter parents in this book, but there is the bratty older sibling that a lot of kids have to learn to put up with, plus the great message that it is truly okay to be yourself and that if you feel scared and insecure there's a good chance the other guy or gal feels the same way. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/1974700-ira-sleeps-over](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/1974700-ira-sleeps-over) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-07-13*
