"A charming bedtime story." -- School Library Journal "A nocturnal companion to Matheson's Tap the Magic Tree (2013), this interactive picture book illuminates nighttime's wonders. An implicit sense of power (and even a hint of magic) follows each page turn. A delightful bedtime book." -- Kirkus Reviews "This exploration of the word at night should be inviting to even the very youngest children, who will also enjoy its imagination-fueled and child-powered interactivity." -- The Horn Book Praise for Tap the Magic Tree: "Proves you don't need apps for interactivity. You can imagine this book wearing out after repeated tapping, swishing, counting and shaking, but you won't ever have to recharge its battery." -- New York Times "The conceit of this clever picture book is that the changing seasons occur as if by magic.
Readers are shown a bare brown tree and are implored to, "Tap it once. Turn the page to see." As they do, green leaves appear.Simply a treasure to behold." -- School Library Journal "Although simple in presentation with ample white space, the artwork provides a glorious rendition of the four seasons of a tree. No iPad is needed to make this interactive book totally satisfying." -- Booklist "Take an apple tree through the seasons by tapping, brushing, shaking, and clapping. It's a good on-the-way-to-bed activity.
" -- Publishers Weekly "Matheson invites readers to take an apple tree through a seasonal round using taps and page turns in place of touch-screens. A universal theme, developed in an unusually clean, simple presentation." -- Kirkus Reviews.
