Our Review
This gentle lullaby of a book captures the universal experience of a curious child delaying bedtime with endless questions about the world. Set against the stark beauty of the arctic night, a young polar bear peppers his patient mother with inquiries about the moon, stars, and the nature of dreams, creating a tender and relatable snapshot of a child's insatiable curiosity and a parent's loving guidance.
Wilson's soothing, rhythmic text pairs perfectly with the soft, dreamlike illustrations to create a calming bedtime atmosphere that both children and parents will cherish. The book's true strength lies in how it validates a child's natural wonder while providing a comforting resolution, making it an ideal choice for winding down energetic little ones who see themselves in the inquisitive cub. This heartfelt story ultimately becomes a quiet celebration of the special bond between parent and child, leaving readers with a sense of warmth and security long after the final page.
