How to Put Your Parents to Bed

32 pp. | HarperCollins/Tegen | February, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-232064-3 $17.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Babette Cole. A narrator undertakes the onerous task of preparing her parents for bed. Readers will smilingly recognize the delay tactics ("Something unexpected always comes up. / Their favorite pillow is missing... Their socks itch"), and adults, too, will see themselves ("they are NOT to make phone calls when you leave the room"). Cole's artfully frowzy illustrations exploit the role reversal beautifully.
