My 4 year-old daughter has loved this book for over a year now. The gorgeous illustrations and soothing cadence make it a great bedtime story. My daughter has never much liked bedtime picture books that describe the bedtime routine or how much a parent loves a child - she wants a story! This book delivers, using precious few words to describe a girl's planned adventure in the arctic. I think the age range is 2-6, and that's probably pretty accurate -- it's nice to find a bedtime book that both my 2 and my 4 year-old enjoy. Highly recommend!

I've been reading this to my one year old and he adores it. The verse is soothing and the illustrations in pastels are a joy to look at. A different arctic animal is featured on each turn of the page including some species that you usually don't find in childrens books. The conversation between daughter and mother is absolutely touching. I bought this at the bargain price but think it is worth the full price.

This is a great book that my daughter has to read last thing, after all other books before she goes to sleep. It is an easy, refreshing read with soft, relaxing illustrations. It seems to put the heady dream machine into motion before the little people go off to sleep.

One of our all-time favorite bedtime stories. My 6-year-old and 3-year-old both love it. And, I love reading it!

I LOVE THIS BOOK!! As a mom, its what I would say, and my kids would probably answer like this little girl does. It has great illustrations, and is the perfect book for bedtime. I would recommend it, if you can find it.
