A little girl discovers what a nightmare bedtime can be for parents—and hilarity ensues—when her mom and dad turn the tables on her after she tries to put them to bed!
Arathusela does not like to go to bed one bit! Bedtime rolls around and…well, talk about drama. But when this wired wild child offers to help her folks get ready to go to sleep, they have so much fun convincing her that their job isn’t as easy as she thinks—in fact, as Arathusela soon realizes, it’s downright exhausting!
If you’re tired of the tantrums and fussing and wheeling and dealing (“Puh-leez, just a few more minutes?”) that always seem to come with saying goodnight, then this hilarious bedtime story is a dream come true! (Ages 4-6)

My 5 year old daughter loves this story and asks for it every night. She knows the words by heart and likes to read it to me the way the little girl in the story takes over her bedtime routine from her parents. We giggle over "Arathusela" every time we read it. It's an adorable story.
