Reviews

"On each page, the sizes and shapes of the sound words reflect their nature, from “CRUNCH,” with bites missing, to a soapy “scrub scrub.” Each spread is full of color, with soft-hued backgrounds and crisply illustrated creatures. This fun and amusing book about bedtime is also appropriate for newly independent readers."
     —Booklist

"Fraser tells her funny story economically, with few words—mostly sound effects—and with simple pictures that convey the mood of the animals through their body language, by the tilt of an ear or the set of an eye. Sweet without being saccharine, this will appeal to young preschoolers in a group or at bedtime."
