From Publishers Weekly
Chorao ( The Baby's Bedtime Book ) assembles familiar and lesser-known characters from eight nursery rhymes to playact the verses, providing pictorial transitions between each. In "Donkey, Donkey, old and gray . . . " a boy throws off his donkey costume, becoming the first link in the chain of characters. Riding on the back of a feathered Mother Goose, he lassos the flying pig from "Dickory, Dickory, Dare," and follows "Little Robin Red Breast" as he flies "needle naddle" to "Sam, Sam, the Butcher Man." The sequence is smooth enough, but some verses are so brief that their rhythm and pace drag when Chorao stretches them over a number of pages. The romp ends as Mother Goose, in the role of "Little Nanny Button Cap," tucks in the characters under the spun-sugar night sky Chorao depicts so well. As in her previous work, her art conjures up a twinkly atmosphere, appropriate for the very youngest readers; but except for the glowing wand Mother Goose holds, it is unclear exactly what magic is at work here. Ages 2-5.

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Cheerful watercolor interpretations of eight traditional nursery rhymes leap off the pages and immediately engage readers' eyes, ears, and imaginations. The rhythm and tempo of the verses lend themselves to pat-a-caking, toe-tapping, knee-bouncing, and other romping activities. Preschoolers have a treat in store as they look at the single-and double-page spreads with pen-and-ink detail that beg to be "read." Mother Goose herself opens the curtain to the verses and concludes with a quiet, pleasant "Good Night." Don't miss out on this enchanting title.
