Time for Bed, Fred! - Hardcover
It's time for bed. But will Fred go to bed? You bet he won't! From hiding up trees, and splashing in muddy puddles, to hiding in the kitchen sink and disappearing behind bookshelves, Fred will do ANYTHING to avoid bedtime. He would even prefer to have a bath. But what's this? All that running around couldn't possibly have made Fred sleepy ...could it? A delightful bedtime book, destined to become a classic.

From Booklist:
Meet Fred, the latest in a long line of irascible picture-book pooches whose misbehavior only makes them all the sweeter. The clock has struck eight, which, according to our unseen narrator, means it’s bedtime for bozos. But Fred is not really down with that. He hides in the flower bed, a tree, and a mud puddle, which means bath time—a clever delay tactic, eh? Then it’s back to hiding in a watering can, the sink, a bookshelf, the laundry basket, you name it. Ismail has channeled Chris Raschka’s work here, most explicitly the beloved A Ball for Daisy (2011). Like Daisy, Fred is illustrated in watercolors that seem to soak through the page in thick blotches and rich, saturated colors. The effect is a wonderful sense of motion; when Fred shakes off from a bath, he becomes roughly 10 thick lines of whirling fur—abstract and yet perfectly understandable. All ends well, of course, for this happy little demented doggie, just how readers (and listeners) like it. Preschool-Kindergarten. --Daniel Kraus
