Readers who will like this book: Young children with an appetite for visual stimulation and a love for adventure.
Personal Response: I instantly fell in love with this beautifully illustrated book. The deep colors pull you in and give you a peaceful, serene feeling while reading. The story is so adorable and as a mom, I can relate to the bedtime "playfulness" shown by little night. I love this book and would rate it a 4 for illustration alone.
A question you would ask before reading: How many of you have ever tried to play a game to get out of "bedtime"? Did it work?
