Review Quotes: "Grimes and Zunon capture the time-for-bed dance with verve, imagination and empathy in this tale of a not-sleepy child and her creative appeals to stay up longer... On each lovely page, Zunon collages realistic images of the family alongside fanciful, mythical-looking animals. With its refreshing ending -- the girl ends up in her parents' bed, as so many children do -- this one has the feel of an all-time great bedtime picture book." -- The New York Times
