My Dad Is Big and Strong, But...: A Bedtime Story

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Kris DiGiacomo. A little boy talks about the difficulty he has getting his father to sleep at night. The reversal of a familiar story line feels fresh as the narrator ascribes classic delay tactics to his "big and strong" dad. The sharp book design and unique line illustrations in a muted palette are as quirky as the story's distinctly childlike point of view.
