Review

Using just onomatopoetic words, Ebbeler's wonderful picture book follows a bird lamp as it solves all of the problems of the noisy nighttime thereby allowing his little human a peaceful night's sleep. Ebberler perfectly captures the sounds of the dripping faucet, the sneezing broom, the fluttering curtains, and then to take it one step further, one double-page spread with 12 squares of daytime noises before it's time to "click" off the light again. A gorgeous color palette and full-page spreads with fantastic details like a monkey-shaped scrub brush and a grumpy backpack, this book can be pored over by young readers, shared at story time, or used in a poetry unit. Highly recommend.

Overall Book Score: excellent
