Product Information

"Larsen playfully changes up the bedtime routine in her debut picture book, with parents and child swapping roles. Readers should find lots to laugh over in the household chaos of this topsy-turvy story." -- Publishers Weekly "Cole's exuberant pen-and-watercolor illustrations encapsulate the chaos of the household at bedtime. An enjoyable--and hopefully convincing--bedtime read-aloud, packed with enough energy that it's sure to tucker out even the rowdiest of kids. (And parents.)" -- ALA Booklist
