About this title

Synopsis

Maggie, Morgan, and Baby Max refuse to go to sleep until they hear another of Grandpop's wonderful silly bedtime stories about ticklish worms, laughing cows, and feather-flying pillow fights.

Reviews

PreSchool-Grade 2AWhen their grandfather delivers the dictum, "Time for bed," three reluctant grandchildren come up with all of the usual stalling tactics. Grandpop, however, cleverly diverts them with a trio of tall tales about his boyhood on a farm during the "hottest" summer ever. He describes bringing in a huge catch of fish (he tickled their tummies); indulging in ice cream straight from the cow (he tickled their ears and fed them ice); and engaging in a raucous pillow fight (he tickled his cousin's toes) during which he was shot from his hammock, landed in a nearby tree, and finally drifted off to sleep. The last tale makes the perfect conduit to sending the children off to dreamland, as visualized nicely in the final scene. Whyte's watercolor paintings deftly complement Van Leeuwen's bedtime romp. Using the entire double-page spread, the artist infuses energy into the pictures (the dancing cows are especially good) and there is an ease and mobility in her character portrayals that ring true. Images are well placed, helping to orient readers between today and yesterdayAa necessary ingredient in flashback sequences for the very young. Children who love James Stevenson's "Grandpa" stories (Greenwillow) are sure to find this book equally appealing.ABarbara Elleman, Marquette University, Milwaukee, WI
