A playful robot bedtime story, illustrated by Caldecott Honoree John Rocco!
Quiet at last. Not a peep. Three little robots are... BEEP! BEEP!
When his three rambunctious robots give every possible excuse not to go to sleep, what's a little boy to do? With a fun refrain that will have readers of all ages chanting along, here's a book that kids will be begging to read every night before bed.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This book accomplishes two important goals: it's wonderfully entertaining, and it gives parents a well-deserved opportunity to tell their offspring, "Welcome to my world." A responsible-looking boy is trying to get his three robot charges who, like their human counterparts, are full of beans at bedtime to go to sleep: "Three little robots, time for bed/ Time to dim your infrared." Every time the boy thinks he has ushered them into slumberland, with the goal of getting some shut-eye himself, a new obstacle pops up ("Is something wrong?" "I need my coil!"/ "My sensor aches!" "I want more oil!"). When peace finally prevails, Tarpley (Ten Tiny Toes) and Rocco (Blizzard) offer another twist, best summed up as "Who's tucking in who?" The rambunctious robots will win readers' hearts from the title page, when they swing from a light fixture and bounce on the sofa. But the human hero is equally appealing: dressed in dadlike striped pajamas, he has clearly had an excellent role model when it comes to be being a loving and put-upon authority figure. Ages 3 6.
