children's Literature
from Suppertime To Bedtime, Bertie Keeps Daddy On His Toes. Dad Attempts To Cajole Bertie Into Eating His Supper And Going To Sleep. In Between, He Plays With Bertie, Gives Him A Bath And Has Him Brush His Teeth. Bedtime Is The Most Challenging, However, For Procrastinating Bertie. In Fact, The Joke Is On Daddy, Who Falls Asleep Before His Son! Young Children Will See Themselves In Bertie's Actions And Reactions To His Father's Requests. Parents Will Recognize The Stalling Tactics Of The Very Young. There Is Plenty Of Humor And A Great Deal Of Warmth In The Illustrations. Father And Son Delight In One Another's Company. Indeed, Some Adults May Feel That Dad Is Far Too Lenient With Bertie. The Drawings In Which We See The Hippos' Legs, Feet And Toes Just Make Me Want To Laugh. The Brief Text Makes This Suitable For Young Children. While It Is Doubtless Best As A Bedtime Read, It Is Also A Good Choice For A Preschool Story Hour About Bedtime Or Daddies.
