Description

Zee brews a pot of coffee to wake his parents so he can climb into bed with them, but after spilling two full mugs he has too little coffee left to do the job unless he can think of a new plan.

Quick Summary

Zee is a quick, goofy picture book for early readers that will have kids giggling as a little kid tries to get his parents to let him climb into their bed after a spill-filled coffee fiasco. The story's charm comes from its simple, bright illustrations and the way Zee's inventive (but messy) plan leads to a sweet, unintended consequence that feels like a tiny victory for bedtime rebels. Perfect for kids who love silly, problem-solving stories especially those who have ever tried to sneak into a grown-up's bed after a late-night snack this book works great as a read-alone for kindergarteners or as a fun read-aloud for parents and toddlers. There's nothing scary or heavy here, just a few spilled mugs and a clever kid figuring out a new way to get cozy, so it's a safe pick for even the most sensitive little ones. If you enjoy Zee's antics, you might also like The Going to Bed Book by Sandra Boynton for more bedtime giggles.
