Lyrical verse and magical illustrations combine to bring only adorable in fantasy insect families to life. A colorful concord of creatures fills every page as mother and child families find comfort in each other and their bedtime rituals. The beauty and detail in every illustration will delight the very young and bring a sense of calm to their own nighttime routines. The text is also very soothing with short rhythmic sentences that soften the senses with each sleepy-time suggestion. While the text and the illustrations could each stand alone, together, they make a beautiful book perfect for sharing. 2004, Chronicle Books, Ages 3 to 5.
