    About 10 Minutes till Bedtime

    It’s almost bedtime!  At 1 Hoppin Place the fun begins when a family of hamsters arrives at the door.  There are only ten minutes left, and there’s still so much to do!  But with the help of the Hamsters’ 10-Minute Bedtime Tour (guided by his own pet hamster), the little boy is able to get his toys put away, his pajamas on, his teeth brushed, and his bedtime story read-all in the nick of time.  This lively introduction to bedtime rituals and the concept of counting backwards will have young readers eagerly awaiting their own countdown to bedtime.

    A sure-fire toddler pleaser from the creator of Good Night, Gorilla.

    About 10 Minutes till Bedtime

    Bedtime routines have never been so hilarious!

    At One Hoppin’ Place, the countdown to bedtime is about to begin when a family of hamsters arrives at the front door.”All aboard!” the child’s pet hamster, dressed as a tour guide, shouts, directing them to his bus. It’s off to the kitchen for a snack, to the bathroom for toothbrushing, to the bedroom for a story. And just as the child begins to read, the tour guide looks out the window and shouts, “More coming!” Busloads and carloads of vacationing hamsters stream through the front door, ready to enjoy the escapades as the countdown continues.

    A sure-fire toddler pleaser from the creator of Good Night, Gorilla.
