Meng, Cece Bedtime is Cancelled, illustrated by Aurelie Neyret. Clarion (Houghton), 2013. $17. Content: G. PICTURE BOOK.
A brother and sister try to fool their parents with an “official” announcement that bedtime has been cancelled. Of course the parents aren’t fooled. The message, however is swept away by the wind and end sup being picked up by newspaper, tv and radio and a real proclamation, with unintended consequences.
Neyret’s cartoon-y style works with this silly message. Pair this with Scaredy Squirrel at Night and you have the bones of a fun bedtime-themed read aloud session!
