Industry Reviews
"While not terribly original, parents searching for another way to convince little ones to go to sleep might give this one a try if for no other reason [then] to share the pictures before bedtime."
Kirkus Reviews (07/01/2002)
"Hallensleben's bold colors may well resonate in young readers' minds long after they've shut the book. His rough, simple brushstrokes possess an eloquence much like that of a child's imagination. Not only will CLOSE YOUR EYES help children settle down to sleep, it may also help them to dream, and perhaps, even to create."
