Reviews for One Minute till Bedtime: 60-Second Poems to Send You off to Sleep
This is a treasury to be dipped into as needed, and therefore it's suitable for a wide range of listeners....
The Bulletin Nonsense poems, wordplay, nature, whimsy, and tenderness all mix together here in a collection that families with children from preschool through primary grades and beyond will enjoy reading together before bed.
Horn Book
Exuberant for the most part (with some serious musings to lend ballast) and in perfect harmony with its cartoonish, color-washed illustrations, this sleepy-time volume is just the thing for the rhyme-loving child who has graduated from Mother Goose.
School Library Journal, starred review
With a broad range of voices and sentiments, the collection delivers poems to meet any mood.
Publishers Weekly, starred review
These pithy poetic observations and Niemann's engaging illustrations prove at once antidote and anodyne for the sleep-averse child demanding just one more....A dreamy collection of bedtime poems and witty illustrations that's anything but sleepy.
