A magical bedtime story, honored as a Caldecott Honor Book.
In sincere and imaginative dialogue between a child and her kind and understanding parents, the little girl decides "in a cocoon of sheets, a nest of blankets," she is ready to sleep, warm and strong, just like a tiger.
The lyrical narrative echoes a Runaway Bunny-like cadence: "Does everything in the world go to sleep?" the little girl asks.
Artist Pamela Zagarenski's rich, luminous mixed-media paintings effervesce with charming details that non-yet-sleepy children can examine for hours. A rare gem.
Review Quotes
"This deeply satisfying story offers what all children crave when letting go--security and a trusted companion."
--Kirkus, starred review
--Booklist, starred review "Zagarenski's dreamy mixed-media illustrations are as calm and comforting as Logue's understated prose."
--Horn Book "Zagarenski's paintings take Logue's story to places marvelously distant in thought and time; each spread holds treasures to find even after several readings."
--Publishers Weekly, starred review "Logue's text is reassuring and rhythmic, but it is the fine detail and plush atmospherics of Zagarenski's layered multimedia illustrations that make the book shine."
--New York Times Online "The common theme of a child not ready for bed receives fresh treatment here. . . . [A] memorable picture book."
--School Library Journal, starred review --
