Synopsis
Daddy's arms are
warm and wide.
Someone snuggles up inside
to watch the moon
wrap silver light
around the wide
and wakeful night.
Baby can't sleep tonight, and Daddy has a plan to relax them both: a nice moonlit walk. But it's not just baby and Daddy who are out and about. The night has an entire cast of friendly animals that hoot, tussle, and snoop when the moon is high. Alice Schertle's wonderful guess-who poem is matched perfectly with Julia Noonan's dreamy illustrations in this soothing bedtime promenade.

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-This soothing bedtime poem will help ease little ones into slumber. When baby can't fall asleep, Daddy takes the child for a stroll around their country home. The full moon lights the way as they encounter several animals that share the bright, calm night with them. For example, they see a creature hidden away in the long grass ("Who's that in a pocket peeking,/hide-and-seeking when the moon is high?") and a turn of the page reveals a mouse. The quiet rhythm of the language and the repetition of phrases offer a serenity that pacifies listeners. Paintings in tranquil colors, predominantly soft blues, greens, and lavender, depict an evening filled with activity. Various perspectives, changing from bird's-eye panoramas to close-up glimpses of the characters to a raccoon's ground-level view, create visually pleasing pages. The story concludes with a sweet picture of the child, illuminated by moonlight, sleeping peacefully in a crib. A gentle winner.
