Overview
A magical bedtime story, honored as a Caldecott Honor Book.
In sincere and imaginative dialogue between a child and her kind and understanding parents, the little girl decides in a cocoon of sheets, a nest of blankets, she is ready to sleep, warm and strong, just like a tiger.
The lyrical narrative echoes a Runaway Bunnylike cadence: Does everything in the world go to sleep? the little girl asks.
Artist Pamela Zagarenskis rich, luminous mixed-media paintings effervesce with charming details that non-yet-sleepy children can examine for hours. A rare gem.
