PreS-KBeyond the soothing titular refrain repeated throughout, troubles cripple this ode to bedtime ritual. Without strict stylistic technique, the verse is unnecessarily redundant, and cumbersome phrases such as "And as you dream inside your sleep" will trip up readers. Adults will surely have to explain the lines "Your dreams will be arriving soon./They'll float to you/in sleep's balloon./They'll be here when I snuff the wick, /you'd better close your eyelids quick." The book's design clearly favors Tillman's richly hued digital and mixed-media composite paintings over the text. Though fans of Tillman's "On the Night You Were Born" (Feiwel & Friends, 2006) will likely gravitate to this title, general readers will do better to look to other books for their evening routine."Bethany Isaacson, Wheaton Regional Library, Silver Spring, MD"

Preschool-K The creator of On the Night You Were Born (2007), a New York Times best-seller, contributes just the illustrations in this lilting, picture-book lullaby. On each two-page spread, animals prepare for sleep, often coaxed by loving parents. Metaxas words set the sleepy-time tone with lulling sounds, repetition, and rhythms in short lines that read like poetry: So drones the drowsy bumblebee inside its hive inside its tree. Its time to sleep. Tillman combines vibrantly colored photos and textured paintings in digital collages of the detailed animals, sometimes snuggled with a human child under starry, moonlit skies. As in On the Night You Were Born, the words directly address a young listener with comforting, fanciful imagery: Your dreams will be arriving soon. Theyll float to you in sleeps balloon. Culminating in a final scene of a sleeping child in a floating bed under a watchful moon, this gentle, tender offering will buoy children with its strong messages of safety and love.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2008, American Library Association.)
