Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
In a starred review, PW said this farmyard tale "combines powerful images with the fun of a bedtime game that can be adapted to many sleepy imaginations." Ages 3-7.
Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1-- A well-planned and well-developed book, both deceptively simple and complex. It opens with a father and young son gathering up a box of toy farm animals. The two figures are rendered in isolation against a stark white background. The boy asks his father how each of the various animals go to sleep. The father replies with a short rhyme that appears under an illustration showing first the individual creature and then a more inclusive farm scene with highly detailed backgrounds. The contrast of the bare white background with the realistic presentation of the barnyard creates a push-pull idea, a visual echo of the call/response motif set up in the text. Wijngaard's sparkling watercolors are a tour de force; he moves confidently from image to image, from the changing movements and expressions of the father and sleepy child, to authoritative paintings of the animals, all within the changing light and shadow of a waning day. Extending the story from cover painting to endpapers, these scenes make for a soothing and intriguing bedtime book. --Judith Gloyer, Milwaukee Public Library
