I Don't Want to Go to Bed!

I Don't Want to Go to Bed! is a book about a baby tiger that simply does not want to go to bed. One day her mother gets fed up with her not wanting to go to sleep and lets her stay up all night. As she goes in search for her friends she realizes that all of her friends are completing their night time routine or already fast asleep. When she realizes that she has no one to play with she becomes very scared. She meets an unexpected friend who finally returns her to her mother. I won't tell you what finally happens but I'm sure us mothers can guess.

I think that this text would be a great book for us to read to our children or for us teachers to read to our class. I think that it has a good message about doing things that are good for us, like sleeping, even when we don't want to.

I also like the pictures in this book. They are very cartoon like and I think that small children will enjoy looking at them. I also think that this is a good beginning book to have in the classroom library for emergent readers to start reading independently.

  2. This book seems like a great fit for younger students. I think every parent can relate to this situation as can children. Based on the fron cover illustrations alone I think I would enjoy reading this story both at home and in a classroom setting.
