Review by Kirkus Book Review

A sweet and sparkly version of the classic song.Young stargazers, one per double-page spread, look longingly at the heavenswith their teddy bears or dolls in tow.The pajama-clad little ones are shown wide-awakein indoor and outdoor settings until the final scene, which depicts a tyke peacefully slumbering in a bed.One line of the song is shared per spread, nicely synchronizing the singing with the page turns. Churchs style, which she has employed in other versions of classic childrens songs, features bold black line drawings of cartoon cherubs with quizzical grins.Out of allthe six different children, though, it is a shame that only one does not appear to beCaucasian.Churchs color palette is appropriately gentle and muted, with a variety of pajama-print patternsadding interest. The foil, star-adorned cover is sure to attract browsers.This is a sweet book; its a darn shame the children are so monochromatic.
