Race You to Bed! (Review & Giveaway)

Any kid would enjoy a not-quite-ordinary bedtime book every once in a while. Race You to Bed by Bob Shea is one of those books!

The interplay between bright/bold and soft/pillowy graphics make this book a beauty to behold. Textures and patterns bring life to simple, 60s-inspired objects and animals in this tale, all about a whispy-white rabbit (with very long ears and very stretchy legs) who’s racing your kids to bed.

He races to and fro, in and around things, interacting with random objects along the way (a sailing skateboard, for instance), never breaking his stride. Our kids love the bunny’s expressive and exaggerated eyes. They giggle all throughout the audible race to the finish line, the animated and whimsical (and sometimes suspenseful), short and sweet journey that it is.

Who will get there first? Why, you’ll just have to wait and see.

This book is a prize for any little sleepyhead who’s reluctant to settle down at night for a good night’s rest. (Parents can rejoice in this book’s achievements, as well!)

You can purchase Race You to Bed from HarperCollins.com, several terrific online booksellers…or look for it in the new children’s books section at your nearest bookstore.
