“A cute book, but I don't love that he just disobeys his mother's repeated calls that it's time for a nap...he just keeps playing until he falls asleep himself.”

“Gideon is a charming and energetic little goose. He is far too busy playing with all of his barnyard friends to take a nap. The simply drawn animals are surprisingly expressive in their postures and there is a good variety in the vocabulary of busy-ness and the scope of Gideon's play. I could read this book again and again.”
