About the Author:
Charlotte Zolotow (1915–2013) was an author and editor of children’s books. Her best known books include Mr. Rabbit and the Lovely Present, with illustrations by a young Maurice Sendak; My Grandson Lew; and William’s Doll.
From School Library Journal:
PreSchool-Grade 3 A very special goodnight book which delightfully and harmoniously places children in nature. ``Bears sleep in their dark caves the long winter through.'' Other animals and insects sleep also, and finally, little boys and girls ``sleep warm under their blankets in their beds.'' Each double page is a meditation on one kind of sleeper, with colored pencil drawings so wonderfully soft that they seem to have been rubbed into the white pages. Some of the creatures' sleep is easy to imaginekittens stretched out purring in the sun, for example, but others are not. Fish, ``among the green water ferns with their eyes and mouths wide open,'' challenge children's very idea of sleep. Plume's full-page drawings on the right are windows into a great green room of childhood from which human sleepyheads can look outward onto an enchanting world of nature. Her top and bottom borders on the left pages frame the spare, poetic narrative. This is a newly illustrated edition of a 1958 book that might just find its way to a spot next to the classic Goodnight Moon as a child's favorite way to end the day. Anna Biagioni Hart, Sherwood Regional Library, Alexandria, Va.
