Brown Marc

It's time to go to bed . . . but Monkey is NOT ready. Acclaimed author and illustrator Marc Brown (Arthur) offers a fun and reassuring story about bedtime. Every night at bedtime, it's the same problem. . . . Monkey puts on his pajamas. He brushes his teeth. He makes sure his favorite stuffed toy is safely tucked in. He says -good night - to Mom and Dad. But no matter what, Monkey is NOT ready to go to sleep. Finally, though, with the help of his big brother, a little imagination, and a few friendly dinosaurs, Monkey might just get ready for bed. Praise for Monkey: Not Ready for Kindergarten -Brown's hand-scrawled text and childlike pencil-and-gouache artwork give the impression that he's on Monkey's side--and that of readers--from the very first page, creating an eminently reassuring and empathetic resource for kindergarteners-to-be.- --Publishers Weekly, Starred review
