From School Library Journal

PreS-K—Bathtime is over, and clothes aren't yet on, but the fun has just begun. All parents are familiar with the nightly ritual of their own Rudie Nudies streaking from room to room before they are harnessed by pajamas (referred to as "jarmies" in this Australian import). In this case, it's a preschooler and her toddler brother who engage in the disarming romp. "Rudie hugged up in a bundle./Rudie Nudie on the floor./Rolling over,/jumping up,/and Rudie Nudie out the door." The simple charcoal sketches work well for capturing the movement and energy illustrated throughout the story. The pictures are paired with a pastel background and some intentional uncolored areas that leave the impression that the illustrations are unfinished. The lyrical prose makes the story ideal for shared reading at bedtime. Giggles guaranteed.—Megan Egbert, Meridian Library District, ID
