"Busy cartoon art full of overstimulating detail vibrates with energy, allowing readers to absorb what it might feel like to be the freckle-faced, fuzzy-haired protagonist, whose 'brain is buzzing' . . . . A comical yet realistic look at bedtime for those who sometimes struggle with it."--The Horn Book
"Choldenko's story is funny. . . perfectly capturing Sam's wandering mind. The illustrations are fun, with bold movement lines indicating a chaotic and hectic bedtime frenzy, and monkeys that just won't quit."--School Library Journal
"Choldenko's buzzy narration itself quiets as Sam uses breathing techniques and reads to the monkeys on his way to falling asleep--self-calming techniques that many readers may find helpful themselves."--Publishers Weekly
