Mona Hodgson announces the release of her new
children's book, Bedtime in the Southwest.
Illustrations by Renee Graef
Every critter--even children--can balk at bedtime.
What does a Southwest critter do when Papa and
Mama say, "It's time for Bed?" Does she beg for
juice from her favorite flower? Does he hop on the
bed and bounce for an hour? Or does he scoot into
bed and snuggle in tight, and offer big hugs and then
say "good night?"
Cute critters comically define what not to do when
it's time for bed in Bedtime in the Southwest, a mellifluous,
rhyming lullaby that will help kids make the
transition from a busy day to a restful night. The
book's tender rhymes and illustrations highlight a
favorite subject for parents, and a gentle bedtime
lesson for children.
