Synopsis

It's almost bedtime! At 1 Hoppin Place the fun begins when a family of hamsters arrives at the door. There are only ten minutes left, and there's still so much to do! But with the help of the Hamsters' 10-Minute Bedtime Tour (guided by his own pet hamster), the little boy is able to get his toys put away, his pajamas on, his teeth brushed, and his bedtime story read-all in the nick of time. This lively introduction to bedtime rituals and the concept of counting backwards will have young readers eagerly awaiting their own countdown to bedtime.

A sure-fire toddler pleaser from the creator of Good Night, Gorilla.

About this title

Review:

Age: 3-4.

Every parent knows that bedtime isn't always welcome when small children are involved, and that all of a sudden the little ones in your life find all manner of things to stop them climbing the wooden hill. In Ten Minutes Till Bedtime Peggy Rathman takes a look at all the things one little boy has to get through when he only has 10 minutes to fit it all in.

This sparky little book combines unusual illustrations with a quirky take on the bedtime ritual through the eyes of a toddler, counting down minute by minute and cleverly building the tension until finally our hero just has to go to bed.

Ten Minutes Till Bedtime is the ideal book for parents who struggle to get their children into bed, and is superbly entertaining for toddlers who will find the dramatic edge to the story totally addictive.--Susan Harrison.

Review:

"Tales about stalling bedtime abound but none wag more cleverly than Rathmann's humorous picture book." -School Library Journal
