Synopsis
Kids everywhere dread the nightly call to go to bed. But not Livi! Her imagination takes her on a journey full of daring obstacles and exciting adventures on her way to bed. She pilots a spaceship, walks a tightrope, and climbs a mountain, all while her Mom waits with her covers turned down and bed ready. With stalling techniques as creative as this, it's a wonder she ever makes it to bed!
Author Sarah Maizes and illustrative veteran, Michael Paraskevas, once again create a funny, fresh book that will be a must for every parent who wants to foster creativity while fulfilling the every day necessities.

Review
“Sure to be a crowd-pleaser in story times, classrooms, and laps everywhere.” ―School Library Journal on On My Way to the Bath
“Readers will be thrilled with the ending.” ―Kirkus Reviews on On My Way to the Bath
“The precocious, emphatic narration and escalating back-and-forth between Livi and her mother will enliven any read-aloud. There are plenty of books on the shelf covering kids' reluctance to get into the bathtub, but Maizes, making an assured debut, and Paraskevas suggest there's room for one more.” ―Publishers Weekly on On My Way to the Bath
“Honestly funny from start to finish . . . Bed-based procrastination is nothing new, but Livi's imaginative play takes the experience to an entirely superior level.” ―Kirkus Reviews on On My Way to Bed
“The . . . cartoon illustrations are vivid and full of detail. . . . Children will enjoy the humor in the pictures as much as the text.” ―School Library Journal on On My Way to Bed
