"This book is very sweet and poetic. I think this is a great book to read to pre-k students before their nap. I would also use this book to teach older children about using imaging as a reading comprehension strategy as the book has beautiful illustrations. "

Quotes

  • “Children can shut their eyes and imagine a world that revolves around them, where bears dance at news of their birth, and where the moon smiles at them and the night wind whispers their name. The story also has delightful interactive moments when kids are directed to whisper their names and wiggle their toes.
