From School Library Journal
PreSAA newly illustrated version of a 1970 title. While this bedtime story opens in a fairly humdrum manner with a pat, predictable rhyme, the rhyming scheme quickly changes and continues to expand as readers ponder the growing repertoire of animals and their sleeping places. Predictably, a child is described at the end, but the text is so soothing and complete that any sense of "I've seen this before" is forgiven. The illustrations add considerably to the success of this title. Each focused watercolor emanates serenity and warmth. Most pictures are presented in cozy circles with the outer edges gently fading to white. They bring the poem full circle by showing the bear and her cub nestled lovingly together on the last page. These features combine with a handwritten text printed in soft blue to provide toddlers with a reassuring listening experience.AMartha Topol, Traverse Area District Library, Traverse City, MI
