1050 S. San Gabriel Blvd., Pasadena, CA 91107 (818) 796-1672 Cindy Cane, Editor Four Winds Press 866 Third Avenua New York, NY 1022 Dear Ms. Cane: Enclosed is a picture book idea. Bed Time is a list of excuses children give for not wanting to go to bed. Your illustrator could handle it in several ways. The first line of each page, "It's time to go to bed," could be said by the same child and then his stuffed animals give him the answers. Or a parent could be saying it and the child with an animal answers. I think it has several possibilities and hope you will consider it. Sincerely, (Ms.) Jo Cooper |
