This book is a nice bedtime poem book that is mainly about a boy who is supposed to be in bed or sleeping, but instead is exploring, like most children do. The boy in the book thinks of many things while in bed, he thinks of scary things, food, and he thinks of nature, of the flowers, stars, moon, and sun. The stories are all lighthearted, interesting stories and really make you ponder on what is being said.

I really enjoyed reading this poetry book, not only because of the rhythmic rhythm, but also because it was very pleasantly written, it all flowed so very well. This type of poetry gives you that relaxed feeling, like a hard days work finally coming to an end and you get to go home and take it easy feeling. That sounds pretty far fetched, but it really did have that type of effect on me. When I read poetry I really get into it, and this one really got into me, I really enjoyed it, really! This poetry book used a lot of imagery type writing, because the author used a lot of the senses when the character was exploring in his many adventures. It also displayed narrative and lyric features. The illustrations were outstanding, very detail-oriented, and flowed with the stories.

I would probably have a class discussion on what types of bedtime stories the students’ parents do for them, if they read from a book, or tell made-up (or real) stories before bed and have the students tell about their favorite one. I would also ask the students if they too have nighttime adventures like the character in the book did, when his parents thought he was sleeping. I would have the students tell what types of adventures and how those adventures made them feel, scared or happy. I think another project that would be fitting for this read would be to assign the students a homework assignment. The homework assignment would be to have the students' parents read a bedtime story or two to them that night and return to me the signed paper slip with the title of the book/story and one thing they liked about the story.
