A bedtime story to avoid bedtime

Playtime is just so fun for everyone, so why does it keep getting interrupted? That's the question in the minds of playmates Milo, Harriet, Henry and Hildy. Just when they're getting into their adventures, parents would call them in, lunches would be served, and on top of everything -- bedtime always arrives! How, oh, how can the friends get on with their playtime without getting interrupted? In //The Secret Plan//, they might have stumbled on a plan that could work. For a book that tells of a plan to avoid bedtime, this work actually has an effective lulling effect (in a good way). The lines of the illustrations are soft and the coloring is muted. As the child follows the up-and-down placement of the text on the pages with his eyes, it won't be long before he will be closing his eyes to go to sleep. Reviewed by Donabel Beltran
