Classic Humorous Bedtime Story
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This book has the ability to impart to children the magic and joy there is in the complexity of growing up. It also makes the child's bed a place of comfort and security. The parents are silly yet committed and loving in their search for a solution to Imelda's smallness. Imelda's saddness reaches the children and they empathize with her frustration. The story uses a richness of language that is missing in much of the currently published children's fiction. Reading this story aloud is a pleasure.
