Bedtime for Sweet Creatures
Nikki Grimes
A mother tries to settle her reluctant toddler at bedtime. The child’s behavior is described through animal imagery: he growls with a toy bear, curls under the quilt like a snake, and clings like a koala for a final kiss. The evening includes a monster check, a favorite book, water, and one more bathroom trip. After these familiar rituals, the child and a parade of imagined animals end up in bed with both parents.
