BEDTIME

by Elsa Warnick ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 1, 1998

A low-key bedtime book for toddlers has a gossamer plot and a simple presentation of familiar objects. ""It's nighttime. Here are your toys. Now it's time to put them away and close the curtains."" Among the most complex illustrations is a toy box with toys scattered on the floor; among the starkest paintings are close-ups of a potty chair and toilet paper on a roil. The objects are always recognizable, even the lovingly rendered fixtures--an antique sink and a claw-foot tub. The book winds up with ""Your pillow waits for you and the night-light is on. It's bedtime. Good night."" With its whispered text and precise renderings, this is a gentle addition to the bedtime-book shelf, sure to lead children off to sleep.
