Ten, Nine, Eight

In this rhythmic, reverse counting book, a young girl and her father make a game out of getting ready for bed. Paying careful attention to such nightly rituals as bath time, dressing, and all-important good-night kisses, they gently count down to the warm and welcoming "1 big girl all ready for bed," a sentiment even the most persistent sleep-evader will find hard to resist, except to request a second reading.
