“There are many picture books with a bedtime theme, but this one stands out because of the diverse settings and Chan’s beautifully painted illustrations. A perfect, calming story.”
“The steady layering of echoic sounds succeeds in achieving a soporific effect.”
“Who says bedtime must be quiet? Winning bedtime fare.”
