What They're Saying
Critics Review
“The witty digital illustrations will have kids chuckling … This twist on the bedtime tale will induce giggles—and, maybe, some reflection about kids’ own bedtime-stalling tactics … Children will stay wide awake, day or night, to finish this funny sleepy-time story.” —Kirkus
”[A] reassuring take on bedtime anxieties. Chua’s zingy digital art does double duty … The tandem print and visual through lines allow for an engaging blend of outlandish and ordinary. Mama’s soothing, consistent presence—even while sporting Medusa-like snake hair curlers—permeates all.” —Publishers Weekly
