Just Go To Bed!

I'm not blogging about how difficult bedtime is around my house.

Although it is a challenge.

This time I'm blogging about Children's Literature.

How many of you (the eight people that read my blog) are familiar with Mercer Mayer's 'Just Go To Bed!'

I adore that little book.

I love how the little creature-what is that creature anyway?-has so many stories going on in his head and plays pretend through the whole book while his Dad tries to get him to go to bed.


But you know what I love most about this little book? I love that the illustrator of the book drew these little creatures looking slightly frazzled.
Because whenever I get up in the morning, or during lunch time, or when I've lost the baby's new sippy cup again, or when my daughter throws a fit because she can't watch 'Little Einsteins' one more time,...you get the idea...I think of those frazzled looking creatures in the book and I feel a bit better. Look at those creatures. You'll see what I mean and you'll never look at the book the same way again.

And by the time bed time rolls around and I'm ready to say "Just go to bed!", I know there is some parent out there experiencing the same thing because Mercer Mayer wrote a book about it.
