From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1-As evening settles over the jungle, baby animals stop their play and settle down for the night, snuggling close to their parents. Soft, full-spread illustrations in pastels capture the warmth and coziness of the families as night draws near. The gentle tone and rhyming couplets make this a good choice for toddler storytimes and bedtime reading aloud.-Sally R. Dow, Ossining Public Library, NY

Customer Reviews

very cute and very educational for 2-5 year olds
I bought this book for my 4 year old daughter and got most of this series now. It is very cute in writing and pictures and educational,too. It is one of our favorite good-night story now :o)

Bedtime Fun!
This is a wonderful bedtime book!! It has a wonderful story that winds down at the end as all the animals are going to sleep. The pictures are brightly colored and so adorable!! A must have!

Nothing Special
I found the illustrations in this book a little disappointing. I'm a big fan of rhyming in picture books but found the rhythm of this text a little jarring. Not worth buying, in my opinion, when there are so many great classics for bedtime out there. I checked this out from the library and still feel a little gypped.
