Book by Joanne Oppenheim

A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

'...a rhyming tale of under-age insomnia: the adults try everything from hot milk to magicians, but the small prince stays resolutely awake. Until, that is, an old woman appears with a storybook and lulls him into dreamland.' --Nicola Smyth, The Independent on Sunday

'Stunning artwork complements some clever yet simply written text in the form of rhyming couplets. Getting young children to bed can often be a struggle but this delightful tale will bring a broad smile to the face of both parent and child as they share the experience of reading it.' --LoveReading4Kids

'Latimer's quirky, energetic acrylic and collage art playfully tweaks perspective and scale as dancers determined to perform until the Prince nods off, tire themselves out instead. This spirited tale may not lull little ones to sleep, but it will surely put a smile on their faces.' --Publishers Weekly
