Nemunemu Goron – ねむねむごろん (Japanese Bedtime Picture Book)

Create a new bedtime ritual with Nemunemu Goron (ねむねむごろん), a heartwarming picture book designed to help children wind down and drift gently into sleep.

Through rhythmic, soothing phrases, children watch as different animals take their “sleepy poses”:

• The elephant goes nemunemu doshin (thud)

• The bear goes nemunemu goron (roll over)

• The bird goes nemunemu kurun (curl up)

• The squirrel goes nemunemu koron koron (tumble around)

Young readers are encouraged to yawn along, mimic the animals’ poses, and slowly ease into relaxation. This interactive, playful approach makes it easier for children—even those who resist bedtime—to naturally lie down and settle in for the night.

Illustrated with warm, soft artwork created using sand textures from the sea, the book radiates comfort and calm. It’s not just a bedtime story—it’s a gentle sleep aid that has become a beloved favorite for parents and children alike.

Parents praise its effectiveness in making bedtime fun, while children love the cute animal characters and repetitive sounds that invite participation. Recommended for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers, Nemunemu Goron is a must-have bedtime companion.
