Customer Reviews

Very special children's book

A children's book that's as educational as much as it's entertaining, whose poetry is catchy and illustrations breathtaking. It doesn't get much better than this. The fact that my five-year-old granddaughter was absolutely mesmerized by the tale makes this a true winner in every sense of the word. As any parent and grandparent knows, it's nice to find a quality book to read to a youngster that will calm them down before bed. This certainly fits the bill. I was looking for something special for her and I liked the fact that the animals described were whales, deer, eagles, puffins, and even salmon - wild animals we are familiar with here in the Pacific Northwest. Imagine my pleasure to discover that the author is from my hometown! This is very highly recommended for children from 3 to 103!!!

Wonderful bedtime story!

This is a fantastic book! The acrylic illustrations are very realistic, the rhythm of the story has a nice flow and is easily read aloud without being too rhyming. We began reading this as a library book and decided we couldn't live without it. The story goes through "Where do I sleep?. . . I'm a baby ___" for each of the dozen animals and ends with a little boy and a bed full of stuffed animals. This is one of my favorite books.

Enchanting and imaginative!

This book is absolutely one of the most beautifully illustrated children's books I have seen in a long time. The pictures capture the attention of both young children and adults alike. The clever story is also easy for kids to understand, while at the same time, educational. My kids love this book, and it would be a wonderful addition to your collection!

What a lovely book.

I just purchased this book after hearing the illustrator speak. The pictures are bright and soft, the text musical and sweet. It just won the 2002 Pacific Northwest Book Award. A beautiful addition to any picture book library.

It's so hard to find a good children's book like this

I appreciate a change from the usual cast of children's books characters (cat, dog, cow, horse): this book features otters, bats, foxes, anemones, eagles, and so on. The poems are great: the author rounds out the lines without useless filler words such as "very," "really," and "quite." Soothing verses and gentle pictures make this an excellent children's book. If you're from the Pacific Northwest, you must add this to your collection; if you're from anywhere else, you'll want to.
