This is a book about a little boy that did not want to go to bed. He said can I stay up? His mom and dad said no, so he tossed and turned and heard a noise from downstairs and got up and quietly went to see. He saw all the things he loved to eat but was sent right back to bed, under the cover he still could not sleep then he felt a cool breeze so he got up went quietly downstairs and saw igloos and penguins, and he was sent back to bed, but he could not sleep. He heard more noises so he got up and went quietly downstairs and saw a waterfall and water everywhere, but quess what, his parents sent him back to bed once again. Each time they would say Go Back to Bed Edwin. This time when he went back to bed he was lonesome and went looking for his bear, so he again went quietly downstairs and this time he was the dark woods, and he called out softly where did you go? This time he found his bear and went back to bed only to fall fast asleep.

This is a very interesting book with lots of splashes of colors on the pages, the wording in this book keeps you interested in finding out what happens to Ediwin Dupree.

You could talk to the children about staying in bed once mom and dad put you there. And that it is important to get enough sleep. When reading the book you have to read with several voices so that the children can imagine they are in the story. ( )
