Bestselling author Amy Krouse Rosenthal puts her magical spin on bedtime--with warm and funny illustrations from LeUyen Pham
When it's Mommy's bedtime, she begs her little girl for five more minutes? Ok, but then brush your teeth! But then Mommy wants another glass of water…more bath toys…
A hilarious reversal of the classic bedtime routine in which a little girl puts Mommy (and then Daddy) to bed.
“Eschewing the typical scenario of readying children for bed, Rosenthal tickles toddlers’ funny bones with a role-reversal tale in which the child gets Mommy ready for bed. With the entire text in speech bubbles and humorous, uncluttered watercolor paintings surrounded by lots of white space, this switcheroo book is a perfect bedtime choice.”—Booklist
“The story is told in short sentences that fit neatly into dialogue balloons. The perky watercolor and ink cartoon-style illustrations on white backgrounds speak as clearly as the text. Some pages are wordless and allow readers to tell the story themselves. Little girls in particular will love sharing this bedtime story with their mothers.”–School Library Journal
"Rosenthal seems to be specializing in cheerful inverted-expectation stories, this time playing out the events with actual people rather than animals; her experience tells in the streamlined text and the quietly clever selection of bedtime-ready elements. There's both gentleness and energy in the artwork. A witty upside-down bedtime story that will amuse young sleepyheads."--BCCB
