Reviews
“Soft, dreamy illustrations in orangy browns set against pastel backgrounds depict a variety of cuddly creatures in action. The art, with its delicate colors and detailed rendering of the layered textures of fur, gives the animals a soft, huggable look, making this a perfect title for curling up together during one-on-one reading.” ―School Library Journal
“The gentle rhymes and invitation to copy the animals’ movements in a relaxing sequence will calm both the reader and the listener as their busy day winds down.” ―A Book and a Hug
