* This picture book's satisfyingly soft illustrations...feel just right for its plush language and darling characters and content.... Small listeners will nestle deep under their covers feeling thankful for tender books that make bedtime a pleasure.
* The book's simplicity, gentle rhythms, and easy patterns make it perfect for bedtime reading.... Youngsters who love their stuffed animals will particularly latch onto this, and parents who want to promote nocturnal tranquility (or those with their own fond memories of Pooh Bear) will appreciate this little gem as well.
