Review Quotes

"A charming evocative way to contrast night and day. The first half of the book, "What the Sun Sees, " shows bustling streets, busy barnyards, and noisy playgrounds. In "What the Moon Sees, " the child gets the moon's point of view: empty streets, quiet barnyards, and silent playgrounds. Many picture books try to show the liveliness of the nighttime world, but few capture its quietness so tenderly. This will make a lovely closing for toddler storytime and for bedtime, too."" Booklist"

"An excellent concept book, similar in quality to the artist's many pastoral picture books."" School Library Journal"
