This is a completely charming book, showing a child going through his day, from waking to sleep, in a world surrounded by imaginary and intriguing creatures. They are vaguely Dr. Suess-like, but the illustrations and simple, short rhymes appeal to even smaller children. My one-year old nephew loves it (again and again), and my child, now eight, enjoys these unique creatures and the made-up words. It is a book that I'm happy to read too, especially in the evening, since the child goes to sleep in the end. I highly recommend this book, with its great illustrations and rhythm.

We love this book. We started reading it to our (now 11 year old) daughter when she was three or four and it's one of the few books we absolutely WILL NOT GIVE AWAY (well, at least OUR copy -- we'll buy it for other people) because it is such a treasured part of her childhood.

Giant Chawangas will always sink in our household!

My daughter is 14 now and still lets me read this every now and then to her! This was her favorite bedtime book for many years. I wish it was in reprint so I could buy it for friends having babies and grandchildren.

My 16 mos old daughter loves this book. We read it at least once a day. I love the idea that "the giant chiwangas are starting to sink" means that the day is almost over. Silly, calming and engaging.
