Synopsis

Bedtime routines have never been so hilarious!

The countdown to bedtime is about to begin when a family of hamsters arrives at the front door. "All aboard," shouts the child's pet hamster, and it's off to the kitchen for a snack, to the bathroom for toothbrushing, to the bedroom for a story. And just as the child starts to read, more hamsters stream through the front door and the escapades accelerate as the countdown continues. Now in a sturdy board book format, this favorite bedtime book, from the creator of Good Night, Gorilla, is ready for a younger audience.

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.
