The reviews are in! 

SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL: "...Young children will appreciate this clever and approachable holiday tale, thanks to the design of the pages and the delivery of the narrative. Onomatopoeia, engaging font sizes and colors, and a rhyming structure tell the story while brightly colored, detailed illustrations  draw readers' eyes with mouthwatering images of food that looks nearly good enough to eat . The playful design and the story's enjoyable delivery make it well-suited to be read aloud..."

KIRKUS REVIEWS: 

"...the slapstick humor in the pictures will support readers' engagement...Oh, what fun!"

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY:

"Juxtaposed with the sure-to-pounce cat, scenes of the rodents - who look alternatingly euphoric and frantic - gobbling the kaleidoscope of goodies create a gentle suspense. And Ross Ferreri's brief and bustling onomatopoeic outing serves up a sudden, surprise ending that's delicious for all."

A daddy-daughter bedtime romp for babies and toddlers who love to play with their stuffed animals before settling in for a good night's sleep.

Ladybug Magazine editor, Kathleen Anderson selected my poem 'The Bedtime Boat' as her EDITOR PICK for November/December 2017. 

"We’re excited to present Della Ross Ferreri’s “The Bedtime Boat” in the November/December issue of LADYBUG. With irresistibly bouncy rhymes—“Jammies on. It’s time to float. / Hop aboard the bedtime boat!”—this decidedly un-sleepy poem invites children to take a ride through a dreamy Arctic landscape, beautifully imagined by artist Stephanie Dehennin."
