Review Quotes

* "The sleepy child climbs into the grown-up's lap, settling in for what readers are led to believe will be a cozy, traditional lullaby. Instead, the caregiver sings a song rife with non-sequiturs and nonsense words such as 'fibblety-fisty foo' and 'zoodle.'...With this effort Boynton is at her absurdist best...The rhyming text is delightful to read aloud, and the musical score incorporated into the illustrations allows parents who can read music to sing the lullaby to an actual tune."-- "Kirkus Reviews, starred review"
