“An ideal book for an evening wind-down or a midnight consolation, the kind of story parents reach for again and again to soothe. . . .”—The New York Times

“The gray-flannel softness of Renata Liwska’s artwork for ‘Bunny Should Be Sleeping’ suggests that this bedtime picture book will be a surpassingly cozy one.”—The Wall Street Journal
 
★  ”Reflecting the quiet tone of the text, Liwska’s illustrations create a sense of softness and stillness reminiscent of a foggy morning. A beautiful, memorable picture book.”—Booklist, Starred Review
 
★ “Quiet and reassuring, though laced with humor, the book strikes the perfect tone for bedtime reading, exuding comfort and the joy to be found in nightly routines.”—Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review

★ ” In yearning text, Hest (Sometimes It’s Nice to Be Alone) captures the way time can move slowly when someone’s on their own, the way an attentive presence can meet needs, and the sense that Bunny is learning to love well by mirroring Dad’s words and actions.”—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

“Hest’s rhythmic text has a soothing, lulling cadence. The soft hues and textures awash in moonlight in Liwska’s digital illustrations convey the perfect mood for this warmhearted bedtime story, which features a refreshing portrayal of what appears to be a single dad caring for his son and vice versa.”—The Horn Book

“As cozy as the snuggle between a toddler and caregiver, this book should be on all picture bookshelves.”—School Library Journal
