"Cozy bedtime poems in free-style verse. In imaginary conversations, a child asks different animals and insects where they sleep and elicits their responses. There is a snug feeling to the poems, enhanced by soft colored-pencil illustrations of a cat curled upon a window seat, a spider swaying in its web in the garden, a robin nested by the window, a caterpillar wrapped in a silky cocoon, etc. Plenty of repetition makes this a good choice for sharing with young children."

"Soothing, rhythmic poems explain where a variety of wild animals sleep. Echoing Bill Martin's Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? (1992), each poem begins with a question that repeats the name of the animal twice and asks, 'Where do you sleep?' Each animal answers, concluding, 'I cuddle up tight / with sweet dreams of the wild, / and that's where I sleep, / sleepy child!' The animal assortment includes a reptile, insects, and mammals, with several examples, such as squirrels and caterpillars, familiar enough that children might have wondered about their sleeping habits. Dodge's cozy, shimmering colored-pencil illustrations match Dotlich's quiet, tender mood well, and children will especially enjoy discovering some of the more camouflaged creatures.
