How to Put Your Parents to Bed by Mylisa Larsen

It's Stella's bedtime, but how can Stella go to bed? She still has Cherry Pig, Thunderbolt the Puppet Mouse, and Beanbag Frog to get to sleep. Stella's got a deep bag of tricks (and strategies many parents will recognize) to help each toy fall asleep. She uses plenty of imagination and succeeds in sending her friends off to dreamland, one by one. ( )

Perfect for your world champion, as it's longer than most picture-books but still very rhythmic and easy. I love Stella's imagination and her skills at nurturing her animals. Very sweet. ( )

It's time for Stella to go to bed but she needs to put her stuffed animals to sleep before she can sleep. Her pet frog, pig, and mouse are not ready for bed. She tries to play with them and make them tired. They go on a bat ride, a train ride and a hot air balloon ride.

It's time for bed, but Stella's toys don't want to go to sleep. They are each "the world champion of staying awake." One by one, Stella comes up with a creative way to get them to fall asleep and dream. Finally, Stella falls asleep, too. ( )
