1. Forty Winks


Forty Winks: A Bedtime Adventure. Kelly DiPucchio. Illustrated by Lita Judge. 2021. [October 26] 40 pages. [Source: Review copy]

First sentence: "It's time for bed!" the Wink parents said.

Premise/plot: The Wink parents have THIRTY-EIGHT to put to bed to be precise! The Winks are a family of MICE. This bedtime book goes through the usual routine--though a bit more intense perhaps--that parents go through daily when caring for little ones. The illustrations give details to ALL thirty-eight children highlighting the fact that each child is unique, special, loved. (The book also lists ALL of their names under their illustrations at the beginning. The names are definitely FUN and SILLY.)

My thoughts: I enjoyed this one. I did. I love the illustrations. Some of the Winks are just so absolutely adorable. You could definitely pick a favorite to follow throughout the book. Perhaps a new one each time if you're going to choose it as an again-again-again book with little ones.
