We got this at a neighborhood kid-stuff swap and it's a total gem! I love the illustrations--warm and vivid, they tell much of the endearing, gentle going-to-bed story. I also like that the words are rhythmic and rhyming; it's perfect for bedtime. In fact, we didn't mean for it to, but this book has become our bedtime cue. It's the last thing we do before turning out the lights and my daughter immediately knows what's coming when we say "time for Ten Nine Eight!" She sits through the whole thing and loves the first picture of the toes and the last picture of the little girl with her teddy bear.
