How Do Dinosaurs Go To Sleep?

How Do Dinosaurs Go To Sleep

    How Do Dinosaurs Go To Sleep is a story about how a dinosaur goes through all kinds of things before going to bed. Which really is a metaphor for a kid going to sleep. The dinosaur goes through the things he wants to go through so he doesn't have to go to bed. The dinosaur doesn't like the dark, wants to make sure there is no monster in the closet, wants a bedtime story, wants his blanket, screams and cries he does not want to go to bed, wants a bath, brushes his teeth, wants to snuggle, gets sleepy and waves or says goodnight. The dinosaur aka the kid does all the things that a normal kid try's to do and wants to do before they go to bed. 

    This book is story book, and it has humor. It is for Pk-1st grade. It is a good bed time story for the younger grades to read before bedtime.

Activity

I think this would be a great read before nap time for Pk and Kindergarten. They could read this book and write about what they usually do before bedtime and the different things they do. They could discuss and color a picture to show the class.
