Publisher Description
Bedtime has never been more fun! Friday Night Wrestlefest is inspired by WWE professional wrestling and is sure to wear kids out before they are gently tucked into bed.
Ladies and Gentlemen, it's Friday night, and these kids are ready to wrestle! Join Dangerous Daddoo as he dishes out some serious moves to get the kids ready for bed. But what happens when Flying Mom Bomb gets home from work? Are the kids toast?
From writer J. F. Fox and illustrator Micah Player comes a charming and quirky family story that will teach you a new Bedtime Blitz that everyone will enjoy.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bedtime is often a contest of wills, so it's not a huge leap to imagine it as a WWE-type event. Here, however, wrestling is not as much about the "battle to the bedtime" as it is an opportunity for a family to have some joyful, rough-and-tumble fun. In one corner is Dangerous Daddoo; in the other, kids Peanut Brother and Jellyfish. Daddoo shows some serious moves with the "squishy squid squeeze" and "seriously slobbery codfish kisses." Appearing suddenly, Mama-Rama, in a classic wrestling move, double crosses her husband with a hug from behind (a "parent trap"). But no one is a match for the third child, Big Bald Baby, who hastens the battle royale's end with a "diaper of doom." For those reading aloud, debut author Fox in mostly all-caps typography provides plenty of opportunity to strut as a ringside commentator. Art by Player (My School, Your School, Our Schools) is loose and exuberant as ever, with sprawling, theatrical compositions and a bright-as-all-get-out palette. An energetic show all the way. Ages 3 6. Author's)
