Alphabedtime
by Susanna Leonard Hill (Author) Betsy Snyder (Illustrator)
Suppertime's over. Everyone's fed. Alpha Mom says, time for bed! It's a busy night for the Alphabet Family--after all, there are 26 kiddos to get ready for bed. A, B, and C declare they are not ready, and Impish I and Jazzy J don't want to settle down, but by toothbrushing-time the crew seems to be headed in the right direction. Bath time requires six bathtubs and is super-splashy--and getting into jammies is no joke--but finally, after a story has been read and they are all tucked in tight, peace should reign. Except what's this? When Mom turns off the light, it's an Alpha pillow fight! Toddlers are sure to get a huge kick out of this lively alpha family--and hopefully following each and every little letter's antics will tucker them out!

Review quotes
"In a style reminiscent of Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault's Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, illustrated by Lois Ehlert, each child romps, rolls, and races to bed. . . . This spirited family is full of personality, each child with a different stuffed animal and pajama set and a unique journey to bedtime. The illustrations capture the bustle of a house bursting with children, from the chaos of the dinner table and children slipping on carpets and overturning houseplants in their haste to a series of bathtubs full of activity. . . . The rhyming text bounces along, an easy read-aloud, with rich vocabulary like impish, jazzy, and scramble making for a fun, silly, relatable read with detailed, appealing illustrations. . . . A playful approach to teaching kids the alphabet." —Kirkus Reviews
