Critics Review
- “Chast’s signature cartoon illustrations … will amuse readers and listeners, allowing new discoveries with each reading… . Youngsters who are developing a sense of humor have no better place to start than here… . Perfect for repeated bedtime reading.” - KIRKUS, STARRED REVIEW

Kids will recognize the disgruntled bristle of Marco’s plumage and agree: life is unfair! Parents, meanwhile, will tell them to go to bed anyway.” – BOOKLIST
“Cartoonist Chast brings her affectionate, anxious line and fascination with the eccentrically ordinary to an original riff on bedtime avoidance.” –Horn Book
