[A] memorable picture book.--School Library Journal starred review Reseña del editor 2013 Randolph Caldecott Honor Award In this magical bedtime story the lyrical narrative echoes a Runaway Bunny - like cadence: Does everything in the world go to sleep? the little girl asks. In sincere and imaginative dialogue between a not-at-all sleepy child and understanding parents the little girl decides in a cocoon of sheets a nest of blankets she is ready to sleep warm and strong just like a tiger. The Caldecott Honor artist Pamela Zagarenski's rich luminous mixed-media paintings effervesce with odd charming details that nonsleepy children could examine for hours. A rare gem.
