I’m Still Up

I’m Still UpI'm Still Up! by Antoinette Portis
Published by Clarion Books on January 18, 2022
ISBN: 0358181356
Pages: 22
Genres: Realistic Fiction
Format: Board Book
Goodreads
three-stars

A simple and appropriately small board book that will entertain young toddlers. While the theme is simplistic many new parents deal with the reality that their baby is not a good sleeper. The illustrations are large and the facial expressions reveal emotion making this a good introductory book for little ones. Siblings may want to read out loud to a younger child because of the cute cat and dog pictures. New parents are apt to learn that bedtime can be a real struggle.

Readers may wish that all the pages had light backgrounds. Libraries that collect board books may want to consider this and its companion book ā€œIā€™m Up!ā€.
