Description
The cadence of this adorable rhyming board book will delight readers young and old.
A young girl is getting ready for bed when her puppy tries to play. First Rex brings his ball over, but she ignores him. Then he crashes story time, but she still doesn’t give in! Finally, as a last resort, Rex steals her teddy and the chase is on! Under the table, over the chair, her daddies give chase and, at last, rescue the bear. Now it’s really time for bed! Goodnight, Rex.
Available in French as Trop tard pour jouer!.
