Cartoon art outlined in black depicts green-dominated pasture scenes against white space offset by blue and dark gray tones for Mike’s sleepless setting, enhancing the amusing premise of this offbeat but heartening narrative. A humorous take on a long-standing tactic for combating insomnia. (Picture book. 5-8)
Throughout, plain backdrops provide human characters’ skin tones, and scribbly sketches by Guridi depict the rule-following animals with simple features and stick legs.
“A singular picture book for curious kids who appreciate layers of meaning and reflection in their stories—and just the right amount of silliness”.
Margarita del Mazo, beautifully dramatizes this quandary: that numbers are at once alike and wildly different.
A nice story about standing out from the crowd. The illustrations are cute and expressive.
A fun twist on the traditional bedtime story.
