People who have or had young children will completely understand this story, about a little boy who takes his on sweet time getting ready for bed, with everything being very dramatic.  Kindergarteners and first graders to whom I read the story were pretty quiet during the story–as if saying, so what?  The story was not unusual for them.  It wasn’t until the very last page was turned and there sits the dog wearing a tutu that they roared with laughter.  Fun, whimsical illustrations.
