Product Description
Product Description
Mrs. Ming, the baby-sitter, is repeatedly confronted by a wide-awake Jeremiah, who explains in imaginative terms his familiar dilemma of not being able to get to sleep. Mrs. Ming, who is interrupted reading the Financial News, practising her ballet steps, studying a poetry book, and hammering a nail into the wall, responds with patience and understanding at bedtime, setting the stage for Jeremiah to contentedly fall asleep.
"This demure, beguiling repetition book is beautiful and whimsical. Levert's playful pictures reflect both the composure of the characters and the sway of imaginative forces. A likely winner for the bedtime slot." - Toronto Star

Wonderful bedtime story,
This review is from: Jeremiah and Mrs. Ming (Paperback)
Both of my kids have requested this book at bedtime as often as Goodnight Moon. This is a wonderful story about bedtime with a little boy and his babysitter. The little boy uses every ploy to stay awake but finally wears out.
