Bedtime
Mathew Price
Board book
(Brighter Child, Oct. 15, 2003)
The day-to-day routines of a child's world are the subjects of these lift-the-flap board books. Each book, which is illustrated in a bright and colorful pallet, features a question about a child's routine. When the reader lifts the flap, he or she finds the answer to that question appears in a colorful illustration. The text, in large type, not only reminds young readers of their own routine, it challenges them to use deductive reasoning as they explore the answer to the question posed.In Bedtime, Katie must find all the stuffed animals that she takes to bed with her. When the reader lifts the flaps, Katie finds them under a sheet, in a cupboard, and underneath a towel.
