Editorial Reviews

Effused with tenderness, McBratney's wise, endearing, and droll story is enriched by the near-monochromatic backdrop of Jeram's pen-and-wash artwork, rendered earthy tones of moss, soft brown, and gray for a visually quieting effect just right for that last soothing tale before sleep.
-Publishers Weekly (starred review)

An endearing nursery game is beautifully revitalized in this comforting, sleepy-time picture book. . . . There's not a wrong note in this tender tale, which should become an endearing bedtime favorite - right up there with Goodnight Moon.
-Booklist (starred review)

Every parent will relate.
-USA Today

A well-written gem with sprightly illustrations.
-L.A. Parent

An extraordinary children's book that captures the unique dialogue between a parent and child.
-Child Magazine

The perfect bedtime story for sleepy little ones. Sam McBratney's soft, repetitive text is reminiscent of classic tales by Margaret Wise Brown (Goodnight Moon, The Runaway Bunny). . . . Anita Jeram's watercolor renderings of this endearing pair add sweet humor to a finely crafted book.

Not only does this petite but sturdy book make the perfect "card" for a baby shower, but it also makes a perfect gift because it will be treasured by both parents and children for years to come. It was--and continues to be--at the top of my granddaughter's and my favorites list.

I don't have children myself, so I used to agonize over what to buy for a new baby. Then I found this book. What a great book for understanding family love. Now my nieces and nephews are grown, with children of their own. They have grown up with notes from me that end in "I love you TTMABA" (to the moon and back again)! What a special memory!

My husband read a borrowed copy to our baby while she was in the NICU, so I bought him a copy of his own to read to her. Makes me tear up when I read it.
