A very sweet book. My daughter loves hearing it at night. the illustarations are some of the best I've seen, and the way the story is woven is beautiful. I'd reccomend it to anyone with kids as a peaceful beautiful book to calm down the little crazies after a full day of soccer or video games.

I enjoy books which include dialect, causing anyone who reads it to be thrust into the part of the character. This book does a wonderful job of this. The illustrations use deep, rich colors of a swamp in the night, creating a sombre feeling as one reads. It is an excellent bedtime story for all ages.

This is my all time favorite children's book. I found it in a children's book store in New Orleans several years back and have memorized the words to lull my youngest to sleep at night.

Anyone who has ever been in the land of the Cajuns or seen the, "muddy waters chocolate , where tadpoles hide and seek," will be enchanted with this dreamy tale.

I don't know which of us likes this better, my son or me! It makes a perfect last-book-of-the-night, with its nocturnal images and lilting lyricism. It's one book you won't get bored reading out loud to your little one---the words are like candy in your mouth, and they seem to soothe my son deeply. Great!
