Critical Reviews

"An intriguing combination of Beatrix Potteresque delicacy and expansive scale-the images feel big and small at the same time, assuring diminutive readers that home is not only a refuge from the world, but also a world that's all their own." --Publishers Weekly on When the World Is Ready For Bed

"Shields's sweet, melodious rhyme and Currey's warm, lively watercolors trace the evening of a very appealing rabbit family... Children will be glad to snuggle up and be softly lulled to sleep by this soothing selection." --Kirkus on When the World Is Ready For Bed

"Nothing says bedtime like bunnies in a country cottage... at the end... a bright morning scene-"Always lovely, / Always new, / Tomorrow's waiting /Just for you."-...does more to comfort than wake up sleepy listeners." --Booklist on When the World Is Ready For Bed
