The debut title in a new series of bedtime storybooks

The debut title in a new series of read-aloud bedtime storybooks for children. Mother, Katie, and Ben are flown to Thailand by flying ponies. There they shop at a floating market, make their own kites, pursue Mouse Deer through the rain forest, and wonderfully enjoy themselves. Mouse Deer is a clever little southeast Asian character who can outwit and outrun just about everyone while playing tricks and practical jokes. Along with their new friend Napat, they all try to catch up with Mouse Deer and, with the help of the Sleepytime Ponies, beat him at his own game! An original story by Lana Jordan which is nicely enhanced with illustrations by the team of Kd Allen and Teresa Giraud, The Sleepytime Ponies Trick A Trickster will leave young readers enthusiastically awaiting the next thrilling and entertaining picturebook adventure with the Sleepytime Ponies.

An Incredible Journey To Share With A Child

Flying on their sleepytime ponies Ben, Katie and their mother take an adventure from their quiet little village known as Sleepyvale, located at the foot of Lullaby Mountain, to a far off land known as Thailand. Welcoming them to his home country, Napat eagerly informs them he plans to take them on a journey to the rain forest in search of a mouse deer, a very tricky creature. During their travels he shows them some of the best sights along the way which include long green rows of rice paddies, a monkey city, wooden houses built on stilts and tropical beaches. They make a stop at Bangkok, the biggest city in Thailand, to shop on a floating market where they are privileged to taste sweet Thailand cuisine and hear captivating stories of mouse deer and his antics. Next, Napat takes the visitors to meet his mother and brothers where they'll create unique kites and participate in a contest. This read-along storybook makes it possible for the reader to experience a rainstorm, meet up with crocodiles, tigers and elephants, which have been outsmarted by mouse deer, and finally construct a scheme of their own to trick this trickster. The Sleepytime Ponies Trick a Trickster is a charming story with colorful illustrations that will surely captivate any child, stimulate their imagination and make learning an enjoyable experience. As a parent, grandparent and advocate for reading, I try and select books that contain the same valuable elements found here.
