Delightful. - <b><i>Kirkus Reviews</i> STARRED REVIEW</b><br> A fast-moving, richly imagined story that loses nothing in repeated readings. A fable about a stuffed animal that comes to life risks being a tedious cliché, but in Liniers' skillful hands, Good Night, Planet is anything but. - <b><i>The New York Times</i></b><br> One of <i>The New York Times</i> Book Review's recommended books of the week (November 27, 2017)<br> Liniers' thin, sketchy ink lines are complemented by a beautiful watercolor palette that adds depth and mass to his forms, in addition to his masterful use of crosshatching (especially during nighttime scenes). - <b><i>Horn Book Magazine</i></b><br> The panel sequences are alternately poignant and funny, and there's quiet wisdom, too. - <b><i>Publishers Weekly</i></b><br> A beautifully illustrated take on the classic idea of a child's beloved stuffed animal coming alive at night. - <b><i>Comics Worth Reading</i></b><br>
