Ample use of white space sets off the charming watercolour-and-gouache illustrations in muted colors. The many details on each page render a delightful glimpse into the animals' cozy lives. Children will have fun discovering each creature's personality. -- Booklist
Furry mammals, birds, and at least one heart-stealing triceratops caper through the seasons . . . Through the medium of watercolour, White creates images that are delicate and detailed, inviting the preschool child to linger and to imagine. All in all, this is a beautiful and calming bedtime story--best read in good light. -- Deakin Review of Children's Literature
