Review Quotes: "As the pages turn, children will find all sorts of beguiling details. . . ."--Wall Street Journal

★ "In a series of lively, inventive spreads, Downing (Cubs in the Tub) pays homage to workers who take up their posts as much of a city heads for bed, drawing building cutaways of people preparing to venture out. . . . Warm, engaging artwork plays the dark indigo of night off warm, golden interior light."--Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

★ "Nifty details are everywhere, and crisscrossing narratives add tons of fun. Wisely, the quiet text lets the pictures tell the stories, allowing viewers to discover the connections on their own. . . . The characters' diversity nicely reflects the big-city setting. . . ."--The Horn Book, Starred Review

"A beautiful introduction to the city at night. "--Booklist

"Will spark curiosity and awe."--School Library Journal

"Readers will close the book feeling that there's joy to be found in every job and every schedule. . . . Will make readers fall in love with the city depicted within."--Kirkus Reviews
