Jay's whimsical paintings with their soft lines, calming blue-green-natural palette, round-faced children, and smiling moon match perfectly with Copus' rhythmic text to make for a calming bedtime read. Kirkus
From the bestselling, award-winning, much-loved author ofWelcome to the ZooandABC, a beautifully presented book with two front covers. The text can be read from front to back and vice versa. The mirror form poem meets in the middle in a stunning centerpiece image as the two children in the story (twins, one in an air balloon, the other a sailing boat) meet in the clouds!CNWhen night falls my bed is an air balloon.I sail through the slipsiverse, close by the moon.I float above treetops where the nub-nubs are sleepingand flowering hills where the whifflepigs go creeping;ponds strung with starlight that glitter like glass,a floog with its velvet nose bent to the grass.Such treasures I count on. My bed in the treesswings me up high, like a circus trapeze.Now the cool, night-rustling airslips through my finger-gaps, ripples my hair;now we glide over water, the moons silver lightblown by a cloudpuff into the bight,adrift on the sea where the dream-shapes float;when night falls my bed is a sailing boat.When night falls my bed is a sailing boatadrift on the sea where the dream-shapes float,blown by a cloudpuff into the bight.Now we slide over water; the moons silver lightlaps at my finger-gaps, ripples my hair;now the cool, night-rustling airswings me up high, like a circus trapeze.Such treasures I count on my bed in the trees a floog with its velvet nose bent to the grass,ponds strung with starlight that glitter like glassand flowering hills where the whifflepigs go creeping.I float above treetops where the nub-nubs are sleeping;I sail through the slipsiverse, close by the moon.When night falls my bed is an air balloon.Alison Jayhas a first-class degree in illustration from the London College of Printing.
