Selected for the Children's Book Council Notable Social Studies List 2022
"What better way to induce drowsiness in young pillow plumpers than short, fascinating introductions to the bedding-down behavior of creatures? ... This compendium of night-related knowledge ranges well beyond the bedroom as well as Eurocentric confines ... The painted illustrations on every page are consistent in their bright hues and simple cartoon style. Human figures are diverse in dress and racial presentation, and nearly everyone (animals included) smiles." - Kirkus Reviews
