This book written by Mick Inkpen Holder is a book about little pig and its his bedtime but he isn't quite ready for bed as of yet. He is finding every excuse not to go to bed, first he's in the tub, then he's brushing his, teeth, reading a book and so on.
The illustrations in this book are very simple wording which makes it easier for children to follow along with. This book offers very colored pictured on crisp white background which offers a pull out page for the children at the end of the book.
My personal opinion on this book is that it would make a wonderful bedtime story to read at bedtime. This book is good for children who find every excuse not to go to bed. It had very simple wording easy for young children to understand with no problem.
I would ask my students the following questions:
1. Are you just like the pig at bedtime making every excuse not to go to bed? Why or Why not?
2. What excuse do you make at bedtime when its time for bedtime? Does your excuse work?
Classroom activities:
1. Have the children to create their own bedtime story?
2. Have the students to bring in the items they use as an excuse for not going to bed.
