Reviews
"In this inventive bedtime countdown, ten different insects--portrayed in sleepwear but with distinctive physical features, and even identified on endpapers--drop off one by one around or inside a hollow tree. . . Still-wakeful young listeners, if there are any, will be more than willing to take a repeat ride." -Kirkus Reviews
"[T]he rhythms and lulling rhymes are infectious. It's Saaf's winsome, mixed-media artwork that will draw children most. . . An imaginative, richly colored counting exercise for little ones still working on one through 10." -Booklist
"[Y]oungsters will delight in looking for the odd one out on each page and enjoy the ending." -School Library Journal
