About Tuck Me

Product Description Who needs to be tucked in? Turn each page until all baby animals—and little readers—are cozy and ready for sleep in this irresistible bedtime ritual. The stars are out. The moon is rising. All the baby animals, from peacocks to pigs to zebras, are ready for bed. Will you tuck them in and say good night? Just turn the pages and the big inviting flaps that serve as blankets cover each little creature up to its chin. This simple but endlessly satisfying novelty, with its array of goggle-eyed baby animals, bold patterns, and vibrant colors, is sure to be the book of choice for little ones everywhere, night after night. From School Library Journal PreS–In a gentle, rhythmic nighttime chant, an unseen narrator asks, “Who needs to be tucked in?” The next page reveals a pop-eyed cartoon baby animal, head on a pillow against a field of white. Readers turn a half-page which is revealed as a blanket and the baby is tucked in. The opposite page, night blue with yellow stars, displays the text “Good night, baby” and the next request for who needs tucking. In the cozy conclusion, the narrator asks readers if they are ready for bed. This simple book reveals a zoo of animals–hedgehog, pig, alligator, moose, peacock, elephant, each on a uniquely colored and patterned pillow and being covered by a joyously fun and surprisingly patterned blanket. The animals are rendered digitally in a sketchy, jazzy style with swaths of bright color. Youngsters will delight in covering the babies and chanting the text in this book that will be re-read endlessly as a comfy prelude to bedtime.Marge Loch-Wouters, La Crosse Public Library, WI © Copyright 2010.
