Luckily, his knowing Grandpop tells him it's not quite time to go to bed yet--first, he needs Isaac's help in putting the \u003ci\u003ehouse \u003c\/i\u003eto bed. Quietly and slowly, they move from room to room, turning out lights and pulling down shades, as Grandpop gently explains the nighttime sounds that Isaac finds unfamiliar. Now it's time to read the house a bedtime story (Isaac is good at reading the pictures). By the time the house is settled in for the night, Isaac and Grandpop are ready for bed, too. Janet Costa Bates's tender story and A. G. Ford's cozy illustrations will have families--and extended families or friends--eager to take a wise Grandpop's cue and embrace a new nighttime tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJanet Costa Bates\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eSeaside Dream\u003c\/i\u003e, illustrated by Lambert Davis, which was named a Lee and Low's New Voices Honor Book.
