Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

The author-illustrator of Haiku Baby (2008) offers a soothing bedtime story with just the right amount of sweetness. As a little bunny gets tucked into his bed, he dreams of his pastoral world outside as it slows down and readies for night. Dandelions, robin eggs, flower blossoms, frogs, caterpillars, and more all prepare for the night. “Dream of comforts all around, / in soothing colors, shapes, and sounds. / Set your cares and wishes free / to ride the dandelion breeze.” With their gentle cadence, Snyder’s short rhyming phrases add to the cuddly effect. The charming collage artwork, with images of snuggling squirrels and daddy frogs singing little ones to sleep, will bring a smile. Particularly effective are the backgrounds as the colors of the sky—and the pages—go from sunny yellow to pinks and oranges, then deep purples and blues, as the sun finally sets and the moon rises. A worthy and welcome addition to the canon of cozy bedtime stories. Preschool-Kindergarten. --Rebecca Wojahn

Perfect little bedtime book.
5 Stars
Perfect little bedtime book.
This is usually the last of the 3 to 4 books we read at bedtime. It's very calming, like a lullaby, so we switch from silly/fun books to this one to wind down before lights out. The pictures are nicely done and my daughter like to discuss what the animals are doing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best baby/toddler book! Gorgeous & poetic!

This is my daughters favorite baby book. My husband and I loved it so much that we both have it memorized. I cannot compliment this tiny little book enough. The illustrations are amazing, and the story line is adorable yet poetic and eloquent. I was not bored reading this book to my daughter for the hundredth time and went so far as to search down other titles by this author.

We bought another copy so that my daughter will have a fresh copy for her kids one day.

Truly beautiful book.

My favorite bed time book. The illustrations are so colorful and detailed and cute! The story is a nice poem that is very very soothing to read. I read it almost every night to my daughter and after a year I’m not tired of it.

5.0 out of 5 stars This little book is just poetry and so sweet I needed to own it

I'm a book nerd and read to my son a lot. So much that I wanted a library to read to him from but don't have that kind of space or money! So I went to the library. This little book is just poetry and so sweet I needed to own it. I actually returned the rest of the books but kept this one until Amazon delivered my copy. It's like the spiritual peace of yoga in a child's book, if that makes sense, and the illustrations are just perfect.

I love this book, it was gifted to us when my son was a baby and it quickly became a regular book in our bedtime routine. The story flows really well and my son loves the pictures. I purchased this copy as a baby shower gift and I’ve been told they are already reading it nightly to their new bundle of joy :)

This book's soothing and pleasant imagery supports it's beautiful poetic lullaby. I love reading it just as much as my daughter loves hearing and seeing the pictures and pointing them out. I would purchase this as a gift for anyone expecting or with a young child and I would recommend it over and over again. It's fun to read, and full of art bold in but soft in content... perfect for bedtime.

5.0 out of 5 stars Soothing images and verse - appropriate for boys and girls.

My daughter (28 months) asks for this book every night since we got it a few months ago. She can even recite this ENTIRE book from memory. The images are soothing and the verses use complex language. We had borrowed this book from the library when daughter was 12 months old and she liked it then as much as she does now. This is a versatile book that will take you through the toddler years.

Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2020

The story is beautiful, but we bought this book used and it was filthy. I knew it would have wear but didn’t expect the pages to be stuck together and gritty. I wiped down each page and it is good as new, but would have expected more from a used book dealer (especially in this time of Covid).

I love this sweet story and illustrations. I was going to buy The Going to Bed Book but I’m so glad I chose this one. It’s a longer and sweeter story to get the little one wound down for bed. Beautiful illustrations as well.

This is an adorable bedtime story book, with lovely illustrations. There are quite a few verses to the rhyming story, making it several pages, so it's good value for the money, too. I bought this for a baby shower gift, where we were asked to bring a book instead of a card.
