Sleep Like A Tiger meets Chirri and Chirra in this sweet, beautifully illustrated (colored pencil and watercolor) tale of a little girl and her grandfather edging toward bedtime. ( )

Time for Bed, Miyuki by Roxane Marie Galliez follows little Miyuki as she has just one more thing to do before bed. She must water the garden, gather snails, and cover the cat among other things. All the while, patient Grandfather helps Miyuki with her fanciful tasks. This little storybook is full of gorgeous Japanese style artwork. My cubs and I loved the pictures. It wasn't a favourite of mine though, since even our young ones got exasperated with Miyuki's delaying tactics. Dilly-dallying and disobedience aren't something our family tolerates when it's time for bed, and Miyuki looks of an age to know better. I think I'd only recommend this to families I knew had a compatible mindset. It's not for everyone, since it has the potential to give young children the wrong idea about what is acceptable and not.
