READING AND PRESENTATION FOR
TIME FOR BED, BABY TED |
|
 |
|
|
|
We'll focus on being a Bedtime Hero. Let’s get into bed, just like baby Ted!
to arrange a reading. |
|
|
|
|
 |
It's a Pajama Party with Ted and his pretend menagerie. This reading is great for pajama days at schools and a perfect evening special event for bookstores. I’ll be in my penguin pajamas, so I hope you’ll come in your favorite pajamas too. |
|
|
|
|
 |
Children will receive Bedtime Hero badges and bookmarks. There are three badges to select from—the seal, the mouse, and the duck, from Kay Chorao’s lovely illustrations from the book. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
During the presentation, children can participate by calling out the animal sounds. Bark, bark, barking—squeak, squeak, squeaking—quack, quack, quacking. |
|
|
 |
Afterwards, we’ll have a lively discussion about getting ready for bed, favorite bedtime stories and getting to sleep quickly, so we can begin playing in our dreams. What do you dream about? |
|
|
 |
For the finale, we’ll all cheer, “I’m a bedtime hero, I'm a bedtime hero, I'm a bedtime hero.” |
|
|
 |
At The End, each child will get one more Bedtime Hero badge to stick on their pajamas that night after they tuck themselves into bed, just like baby Ted. |
|
|
 |
Extra Option: I could make a “Nighty Night/Sweet Dreams potion” with the children. I would provide muslin bags and dried lavender flowers and each child would measure out one-quarter cup of flowers into their bag, tie it off with a label, and stamp it with an animal stamp. |
