I loved this book. It's one of those that make you chuckle books. I loved the whole back and forth question thing between the little boy and his mother. I could hear this dialogue really happening.

So cute. And I love the little stuffed critter showing up in all the pages.

Edward can't sleep so he's asking his mom endless questions while she tries to sleep. While a few things were amusing, it was mostly just a series of the same questions and answers. A parent might smile, remembering sleepless nights with curious toddlers, but I don't think this will be very amusing for kids. The pictures are lovely.

Fun read aloud, great illustrations, love the questions, words and text go together to tell a story.

I was giggling quite a bit while reading this cleverly repetitive story. Little Edward can't fall asleep and therefore feels obligate to bombard his sleeping mum with lots of pointless questions that rotate to the same answer. But has a trick, read the book and you'll find out what it is.

Cute story about a child that wakes up in the middle of the night, and has a ton of questions for his mom through the course of the night.

I read a preview copy at ALA Midwinter 2011. Not quite sure of the audience (parents? self-aware kids?) but eh, who cares, I loved it. The book is filled with Blackall's characteristic wry humor and gorgeous illustrations. The trim size is notable. This is a very small book, reminiscent of a board book.

Adorable. Every parent can relate to little Edward in this book, ha!
