Great Bed Time Book

My son loves this book. It is very calm and relaxing making it a great bed time book, and is a pleasure for parents to read as well.

Wonderful Children's Book!

I love this book! First saw it when visiting with Sarah Burlingame in Cheyenne Wyoming, who got an autographed copy since Myla was speaking at a Writers' event there. Loved the story and illustrations so much I've bought copies as gifts for all of my friends with children. I knew Myla at Oberlin, and this is just the sort of beautiful, magical book I would expect from her. Thanks, Myla, for a great story full of imagination and surprises.

Beautiful children's book

It is a beautifully written and illustrated children's book, with a lot of learning material in the story.

Fun whimsical tale.
