Amazon Description

Written in jaunty rhyme, this whimsical text captures the all-too-familiar struggle that ensues when little ones are getting ready for bed. Any excuse will do to avoid taking a bath, putting on pajamas, or having the lights turned out. But Mama is ever present, steering her young adventurer toward bed. And in the end, with the moon rising in the sky, there's always time for just one more story.

This is a rollickingly funny story, with art to match. Using gouache, acrylic, and pencil, Brian Karas portrays scenes that will instantly be recognized by parents, caregivers, and their own wide-awake "good knights." This bedtime story tells it like it really is.

One Potato Review

Of fires that need putting out, and cats that need urgently rescuing, and kingdoms that need ruling. This furthermore attempts to unravel one of the enduring mysteries of childhood: Why is it they always have such a hard time getting into their baths, then also getting out? Transitions? Is that what they’re called? The blessings and curses (to parents at least) of a turbo-charged imagination.
