The Book Stall (811 Elm Street in Winnetka) is excited to host children's author Mike Hensel on Saturday, February 22 at 10:30 am for Saturday Storytime featuring his new picture book, Unicorn, Go to Bed! Silly, colorful illustrations and engaging rhyming text bring this all-too-familiar bedtime tale to life, as each exasperated plea to go to bed is met with a seemingly innocent last request for a snack or a favorite stuffy, which inevitably spirals out of control. With plenty of humor to keep kids engaged, this charming story is perfect for your story time rotation! This book is perfect for kids ages 3-6.
 
More About the Book: This time I mean it! You heard what I said. It's way past your bedtime. UNICORN, GO TO BED! Just one last thing...could I have a night-light? Just something small, not too big or too bright. And could you leave the door open a crack? And hum lullabies while you tickle me back...
 
What do you do when your unicorn just won't go to bed? The tables are turned in this hilariously relatable story of one young girl's struggle to wrangle her little unicorn to sleep, despite the unicorn's escalating antics to stay awake past her bedtime. Funny and entertaining, Unicorn, Go to Bed is sure to become a favorite bedtime story for parents and children alike!
 
More About the Author: Mike Hensel has never liked going to bed. He would also rather stay awake and eat snacks and watch TV and doodle in his sketchbooks and play with his dogs and rearrange his cabinets and about a billion other things. Mike lives in Chicago with his Catalan husband and two ridiculous pugs.
