"Whether read as Zen nature walk, bedtime story, or gentle science starter, this story begs to be visited again and again." -- Kirkus Reviews , Starred Review "Downing invites listeners to revel in the night with soft illustrations depicting four nocturnal animals (a fox, owl, mouse, and raccoon) and a complementary series of soothing quatrains describing their routines." -- The Horn Book "A short, sweet, simple book for bedtime. Glowing illustrations support a poetic text for a visit to what goes on while children sleep." -- School Library Journal "Downing adds rich depth to her full-bleed illustrations, dense with background detail and sumptuous, velvety color, while the onomatopoeic text melds seamlessly into the rest of the lines. With an easy poetic tempo and artwork teeming with ambiance and tone, this will be an enchanting pick for storytime." -- Booklist.
