"I want every child to have this delight of a book. It is that simple. The illustrations are so special, I feel waves of pleasure just opening the book's cover. Oh, how luminous the colors, how whimsical the characters, and how satisfying the choice of poetry and song... Do you know how certain books stay in your heart and mind always – the ones you remember reading as a child and will never forget? This is that kind of book. Give it to your children to bless their lives when they are little and go with them as they grow up and have children of their own."

"A very pretty bedtime book that manages to be both sweet and sassy. The poems chosen range from Eugene Field's venerable and adorable "Wynken, Blynken, and Nod" to Nancy Willard's contemporary "Rock Me." ... The watercolor illustration matches it elegantly in tone and timbre, with its rose-garlanded teacup looming over a row of quiet houses and the full-faced moon in a violet sky. A dollop of silliness--for instance, Jack Prelutsky's "Last Night I Dreamed of Chickens"--plays off against the dreamy mystery of Malachy Doyle's "The Dancing Tiger."
