★ "In tandem, the text and art endow nighttime with a sense of whimsy and wonder, and for little ones readying for bed, they'll find comfort and reassurance for sweeter dreams."—Booklist, Starred Review ★ "Nighttime is the right time for young readers thanks to this perfect amalgamation of soothing text and image."—Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review ★ "A striking sequence of collaged spreads. . . . All the senses are engaged as, en route to a cozy ‘sleep tight,’ Berger presents the smells, the sounds, and the sights of nighttime as elegant, dazzling, and serene."—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review ★ "Carin Berger’s sweet, gentle bedtime story is more than just a pretty face; it fully captures the imagination. Using her own garden as a muse, Berger (Finding Spring) takes the unease out of nighttime. . . ."—BookPage, Starred Review ★ "Berger’s attention to detail in the art, alongside her sophisticated and accessible text, creates a magical nighttime world. This spellbinding picture book will undoubtedly hold children in that glorious tension between wide-eyed curiosity and heavy-lidded drowsiness before they drift off to sleep."—The Horn Book, Starred Review "With subtlety, grace, and perfection, Berger creates a goodnight book for the ages. I like it better for a modern audience than Goodnight Moon."—Anita Silvey, former Editor-in-Chief of The Horn Book "Berger’s abstract paper collage captures the whimsy ambiance of nighttime spaces. . . . This would make a calming bedtime tale that will have little ones’ eyes gleaming with delight while observing the serene magic of the night."—The Bulletin for the Center of Children’s Books |
