"Illustrations . . . are large, bright, and engaging. . . . Rhyming text, which moves around the pages, and humorous pictures reveal the family's bedtime escapades. . . . This fun read-aloud will keep kids giggling."-Booklist "Schwarz's bright, cartoon art depicts the octopus family as rounded, downright cuddly beings in bright hues that capture the lively spirit of the text.
