"This rhyming picture book follows a family through their toddler's bedtime routine. A calm, quiet book that children will find delightful, enjoying the repetition and seeing themselves through the eyes of a book."--Kirkus Reviews
"Writing in soft, rolling rhymes, Roemer walks through a toddler's nighttime routine as doting parents alternate caretaking roles . . . Wohnoutka's chalky art creates a sense of homey contentment--like a warm blanket."--Publishers Weekly
"A reassuring read-aloud choice for young children. Wohnoutka's simple, cheerful illustrations focus on the child and his parents, with just enough background to set the scenes and props to carry out the action. Just right for bedtime reading."--Booklist
