Reviews

School Library Journal

"Ten Cate's bright and appealing illustrations perfectly complement Roep's loving text and artfully capture the endearing bond between father and daughter. The result is a gentle, inventive bedtime story that will coax giggles from both the reader and the ‘read-to.' Better still, there's a built-in opportunity here for parents and their children to pucker up and invent their own special nighttime rituals."

Publishers Weekly

"The presence of the heroine's blue bed anchors the imaginary scenes, as do the physical displays of father/daughter affection. Daddy and Lisa's tender game may well tempt parents and children to try it, too."

Kirkus Reviews

"Like Virginia Walter's Hi, Pizza Man!, illustrated by Ponder Goembel (1995), or, for that matter, Else Miarik's Kiss for Little Bear, illustrated by Maurice Sendak (1968), this import could easily spark an intimate, giggle-inducing, parent-child bonding ritual."
