A Junior Library Guild Selection ★

"In OHora's sweet and funny acrylic art.... The childlike approach, appealing art, and relatable worm character...connect story and audience." -- The Horn Book , STARRED review

"Featuring vibrant illustrations, lively rhymes, and playful touches.... This artful take on familiar nighttime routines is ​an enjoyable blend of whimsical, cozy, and sweet." -- Booklist

"[S]teady rhythm, whimsical rhymes, abundant alliteration, and hand-lettered sleep-appropriate sounds to share like

"zzzzz" and

"snore! snore!" extend the read-aloud experience. A bedtime veggie feast for the eyes and ears." -- Kirkus​

"[S]nuggled-in vegetables and sweet, lilting text offer an effectively snoozy bedtime rhyme." -- Publishers Weekly

"The guide through this food-focused bedtime tale is a jauntily capped earthworm.... The playful rhymes poke around with some puns (the beets are simply beat, cabbages nod their sleepy heads, and cranky cornstalks cover their ears), and while this is perfectly suited for reading aloud, the simple text, solid rhythm, and effective alliteration put this in the reach of beginning readers as well.... Even the most veggie-averse kid will appreciate this cute bunch of crudités."  --​The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

" Take a worm's-eye view of a vegetable garden. Families who don't have a garden of their own can learn all about where their favorite veggies come from."--Romper

" Cheerful lino-style prints show turnips and cauliflower, broccoli and radishes, yams and celery snuggling into the dirt as the sun sets. It just might send your tot off to dreamland with visions of fresh produce dancing through her head."--Sierra Club Magazine

" Sweetly illustrated and penned with thoughtful, smile-inducing rhymes, this is the perfect bedtime read-aloud."--The Inlander
