It's time for Siasi to go to bed, but she doesn't want to brush her teeth or put away her toys. It's so much more fun to play with all the animals of the Arctic! Wouldn't everyone rather dance with polar bear, howl with the wolves, and swim with the fish instead of get ready for bed?

Review Quotes

"Written in verse, following less of a narrative than a rocking rhythm, this book can serve as a modern lullaby for younger children."--The Globe and Mail
