Description
A magical bedtime story, honored as a Caldecott Honor Book. In sincere and imaginative dialogue between a child and her kind and understanding parents, the little girl decides “in a cocoon of sheets, a nest of blankets,” she is ready to sleep, warm and strong, just like a tiger. The lyrical narrative echoes a Runaway Bunny– like cadence: “Does everything in the world go to sleep?” the little girl asks. Artist Pamela Zagarenski’s rich, luminous mixed-media paintings effervesce with charming details that non-yet-sleepy children can examine for hours. A rare gem.

A must
BEAUTIFUL!I adore this illustrator!A sweet book about not being sleepy, which looks at nature and ties it all in at the end :)I have a 7 & 3 yr old and they enjoyed equally. I’d say most suited to under 8 though :)

Beautiful pictures and sweet story
Pamela Zagarenski's pictures are just enchanting in this childrens book about a girl who can't sleep. The story is simple but cleverly does a full circle. It's a nice length, a style that is easy to read and conjures up images in your imagination, or you can just enjoy the wonderful pictures on the page!

Speriamo in una traduzione in italiano
Libro in inglese che ha vinto una caldecott medal e a ben vedere, un confronto tra genitori e la figlia che non vuole andare a dormire e con una serie di similitudini con gli animali si addormenta. Molto belli anche i disegni
