"The rhyming text, which floats white against the dark backdrops, leaves no beach activity or experience unmentioned, right down to the unpleasant feel of itchy sand 'where no sand should be.' The acrylic paintings are appropriately dark but never muddy, and the gently anthropomorphized bats, every strand of fur sharply delineated, follow in the cute-but-still-batlike tradition of Stellaluna. Readers will be swept right along until the sun comes up and the bats return home: 'We sigh and snuggle close together / to dream about the moony weather'."—Booklist
