Book overview
This cozy bedtime story is filled with hugs and kisses, bathtime fun, and gentle encouragements towards establishing a nighttime routine. Shakur begins by saying good night to his family. Then Dad prepares a bubble bath where Shakur enjoys some playful moments. Afterward, Shakur puts on his pajamas and brushes his teeth. They finish with a story -- but Shakur isn't quite ready to sleep. He tries all sorts of things to stay awake, but Dad emphasizes the importance of bedtime. Finally, with his favorite stuffed animal beside him, Shakur drifts off to sleep.
