School Librarian, Spring 2000
Beautifully set out/.../the book will have enduring appeal in the home and family setting/.../The illustrations are of a very high quality.

Child Education, March 2000
The theme of the night with its myriad of fascinations and feelings/.../Glowing illustrations - what a fortuitous artist/compiler partnership - resonate with feeling, enhancing but never overwhelming the verbal images. Sometimes one illustration serves two poems which are melded wonderfully, helping children both hold together and ponder over conflicting feelings about the dark/.../This book as a whole is truly an exemplification of literature's potential to act as sacred space.
