by Sally Hunter

Book Overview

Even big girls get tired sometimes! "Story time," said Mommy. Humphrey was all snuggly and sleepy. But Lottie didn't want her story. She said, "I don't go to bed yet. I am a BIG GIRL."

Humphrey's Bedtime is so sweet

I got this as a baby shower gift for a friend who's having her first child and they plan to have a lot more...But this story is an endearing rendition of "I'm older than you and I don't have to do what you have to do before bedtime." The pictures are soft and adorable and the fact that they are elephants is just so cute. I love this story. Sally Hunter brings to life the bedtime ritual of Humphrey and his older sister. And as Humphrey is settling into his nighttime routines his sister appears to be having difficulty in realizing that she too must get ready for bed. I find it particularly amuzing that she has trouble with her dollies and finally succombs to the idea that bed isn't so bad. So sweet. A must for any library.

Humphrey's Bedtime

I have all 3 books Sally Hunter has released so far. The stories are simple, yet they hold your attention. The pictures are beautiful. They really make me remember what it was like to be a small child. My son has been enjoying theses books since we found them at a book store over a year ago. He is now 4 and continues to love them. I will preorder Sallys' books as long as she writes them. I hope for a collection! They are simply my favorite books.
