Publisher Description
Jojo’s ready for her first night all alone in her very own room, but a menagerie of animals have other ideas in this charming and fun picture book.
Jojo can’t wait to spend the night in her very own bed in her very own room. She doesn’t care what her big sister Margaret says, she’s NOT afraid and she WON’T be back to the bedroom they used to share.
There’s just one problem though—there are intruders in her new room! A lion, a bear, and a very persistent tiger seem to think this is THEIR room, not Jojo’s. Is Margaret right? Is Jojo not quite ready to spend the night on her own? Or can Jojo find a way to show that trespassing tiger just who’s boss in HER room?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
JoJo decides to sleep in her own bedroom instead of with her older sister, Margaret ("You'll be back," Margaret tells her). But after she confidently settles in, "a lion slipped out from behind the window curtain," thumping its tail. The way to keep lions away, Margaret indicates, is to make a "No Lions Allowed!" sign. The lion doesn't return (it must have read the sign, JoJo figures), but a bear with meatball breath appears next. She adds bears to the list of restricted animals and, looking dejected, the bear leaves. Readers will recognize a pattern by the time a tiger arrives. Charming digital illustrations by Neonakis first render the animal visitors as imposing the tiger stalks out of the closet with an expression of possible hunger then as benevolent when the light turns on. An endearing twist suggests that making friends with things that go bump (or growl) in the night can help everyone rest easier. Ages 4 8.
