""The witty digital illustrations will have kids chuckling . . . This twist on the bedtime tale will induce giggles—and, maybe, some reflection about kids’ own bedtime-stalling tactics . . . Children will stay wide awake, day or night, to finish this funny sleepy-time story."" —Kirkus ""[A] reassuring take on bedtime anxieties. Chua’s zingy digital art does double duty . . . The tandem print and visual through lines allow for an engaging blend of outlandish and ordinary. Mama’s soothing, consistent presence—even while sporting Medusa-like snake hair curlers—permeates all."" —Publishers Weekly
