Kobo,
The #1 New
York Times bestselling middle grade powerhouse of Lemoncello fame brings his
wit and humor to a pint-sized audience in his picture book debut that turs the
universal dilemna of getting kids to sleep on its head.
It’s time for a nap but, just like stubborn toddlers everywhere, Annalise Devin
McFleece won’t have anything to do with bedtime. Dad tries to encourage
sleepiness by pushing her around the park in her stroller. Along the way, they
pass a man sitting on a bench, dog walkers walking dogs, a boy on a skateboard,
kids playing ball, a girl practicing her juggling, and others. Each of them
thinks that taking a nap is a great idea and if Annalise Devin McFleece doesn’t
want hers, they’ll happy take it. And one by one, everyone falls asleep…except
Annalise Devin McFleece. But when she’s finally ready for her nap, all the naps
are taken! Is there anyone who has an extra nap to spare?
With every turn of the page, the busy city scene becomes more and more
quiet…except for Annalise Devin McFleece.
Will she ever take a nap?
“Preschoolers will find the defiant
protagonist's protests a little bit thrilling and 100% funny…. Screamingly
fun."
—Kirkus Reviews
“The idea that naps are opportunities to be eagerly seized is an
amusing reframing
." --Publishers Weekly
of a strong-willed child who changes her mind, and Espinosa contributes a
series of lively illustrations featuring expressively drawn characters.” —
