A sample from the book:
With so much drama in the B-E-D It's kinda hard bein' a tired lil' kid like me But I, somehow, some way Keep comin' up with reasons I can't sleep right away
Rollin' in my sheet, huggin' my pillow Sippin' on milk and juice Laid back With my mind on my bedtime and my bedtime on my mind
Every word in this book is written to match the rhythm of a West Coast hip-hop classic -- so you can read it straight off the page or sing it along to the beat. The flow hits in the same places, the cadence lands just right, and by the second page your kid will already be feeling it. It's storytime and music time at once.
It's hard out here for a tired little kid. There are stuffies to arrange, snacks to negotiate, and at least one more show that absolutely needs to happen before anyone's closing their eyes. Sound familiar?
Sippin' on Milk and Juice takes a laid-back 90s classic and transforms it into a cozy, laugh-out-loud bedtime adventure. Kids will love the playful rhythm and silly stall tactics, and parents will appreciate finally having backup when it's time to wind down.
Part of the Read to the Rhythm series -- where classic hip-hop meets lights out.
Perfect for ages 3-7 and any parent who's ever negotiated bedtime with a tiny, very determined human.
