About this title

Review:

"Little tiger and his mother sit in the tall grass waiting for night to fall . . . The text flows beautifully from one page to the next and lends itself perfectly to reading aloud . . . Each lovely spread enhances the lyrical text . . . This beautifully written and charmingly illustrated story will be enjoyed over and over again." --Starred, School Library Journal

"Another lyrical nighttime tale . . . reminiscent of Margaret Wise Brown's The Runaway Bunny." --Booklist

"Spry and lively . . . Not only will Close Your Eyes help children settle down to sleep, it may also help them to dream and, perhaps, even to create." --The New York Times Book Review

"Soothing." --The Horn Book

"Satisfying." --Publishers Weekly
