What reviewers said
Selected for the Children's Book Council Notable Social Studies List 2022
âWhat better way to induce drowsiness in young pillow plumpers than short, fascinating introductions to the bedding-down behavior of creatures? ... This compendium of night-related knowledge ranges well beyond the bedroom as well as Eurocentric confines ... The painted illustrations on every page are consistent in their bright hues and simple cartoon style. Human figures are diverse in dress and racial presentation, and nearly everyone (animals included) smiles."

âThis book has 30 amazing 5-minute stories with great illustrations and all facts verified by Britannica. If you have a kid like one of my daughters, who prefers reading about science, history, and âthings that actually happened,â this one's a winner.â
