Reviews
“...But as much as this book is about being the center of the universe, it’s also about letting others hold the stage. A good friend, the final contented huddle tells readers, is also a good listener. "
-Publisher's Weekly (starred)
"A little boy loves to cuddle and chat with his stuffed-animal friends at bedtime...The specifics are told wordlessly and in great detail in Stringer’s bright acrylic illustrations with just the right softly fuzzy surroundings... A lovely, gentle story for bedtime sharing."
-Kirkus Reviews
"... While the rhythmic and snappy text sets up the action, it’s really the art that tells the story…This warm, bedtime read celebrates the comforts of sharing a story together and a day well spent."
-School Library Journal
“…the who, the what, the why and the way.” This catchall refrain and Lauren Stringer’s luminous illustrations combine to unleash an adorably benign saga of thunderstorm woes: Greedy Goose plummets from a rain-slicked branch; Blue Horse skittishly hides from the flash and boom; Fat Rabbit gets plopped in a puddle, then hung out to dry… Stringer is skilled at compositional intimacy, and her softly scumbled blues and simmering oranges and yellows combine to smooth the calamity and highlight the recovery."
-NY Times Book Review
