* Rosen’s words and Egnéus’ lovely pictures combine to create a soothing tale that will be welcomed in autumn or at bedtime in any season of the year.
Booklist, starred review
-
This sweet bedtime story [is] cozy and comforting...Egnéus’s loose watercolors and use of contrasting dark and light values for the backgrounds are gorgeous and will make readers feel as if they are in a forest. A solid purchase for any preschool collection.
