SuitabookAn after bedtime story
Shoham Smith
- Reading
- Read it together as a comic family story, pausing to enjoy the rhymes and notice how the party changes as Nina gets involved. If bedtime is already a sticking point, let your child decide whether to compare the story with their own routine.
- Themes
- Family fun and bedtime: Nina's attempt to stay involved in the adults' party makes the gathering more lively, and the evening ends with the whole family going to bed. The comic events centre on Nina’s bedtime delay and the family party becoming lively.
- Rhyming comic storytelling: The story is identified as humorous and in rhyme, following Nina's escape from her bedroom through the party and back to bedtime. The rhyming form and comic escalation give the family escapade a playful storytelling shape.
- Worth knowing
- Nina resists going to bed, and her parents are described as exasperated while she gets into mischief at the party.
