    Early One Morning
    Bedtime, Not Playtime!
    Oteckovia, mamičky, deti, psy a mačičky
    • Niekto z nás nemôže zaspať, ktosi sa zase budí priskoro. V detskej rýmovanej knižke si musia deti po svojom poradiť s každodennými výzvami. Ako zaspať, keď vám nedá pokoj príliš hravý psík a oteckovia sú už príliš unavení? Čo s tým, keď vstanete ráno skôr a mamičky so sestričkou ešte spia, ale vy s mačkou ste príšerne hladní? Vo veršovaných príbehoch nájdete rodiny, ktoré síce majú dvoch oteckov a dve mamičky, ale trápia ich rovnaké problémy ako všetkých ostatných. Hlavné je predsa to, že sa majú navzájom radi.
