I adored this book. Unlike the title suggests, this dad has a clever response for all of his curious child's questions. This is a great one for story time!

I'm torn. I love the illustrations and I like the creative responses to the child's questions. BUT there is the part of me that feels a need for the child to get real answers. Torn.

I really liked the illustrations in this book and they deserve a high rating. Otherwise the book itself seems like another book about a child that won't go to sleep and is more written for adults.

I thought the answers were really entertaining. I'm not sure whether a small child would appreciate the answers, or what the relationship is with her father, but it won me over.
