Critics Review
★ “Collaborators the Cronins show how the smell of yellow flowers, the sound of pink worms wriggling in fallen leaves, and the feel of blue moths fluttering all seem to light up the darkness by dint of the little sloth’s budding powers of observation-as-self-regulation.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review“Brian Cronin expertly plays with shadow and light, the moon a guiding light. The shadowy, complex darkness results in a backdrop perfectly paired with the splashy hues of the night life. For such concise writing, the book has many layers of story, which means that there’s plenty for readers of all ages to take from its pages.” —Kirkus
