A young boy doesn't want to go to bed. The hockey game is on! ?What
if I can't fall asleep the boy says. ?Don't worry, ? says his dad.
?You will.? After his parents have tucked him in and turned out the
light, he shines a flashlight on his prized hockey possessions
around his room: the posters of his favorite players, the pennant
for his favorite team, the puck. Then he decides to listen to the
game on his bedside radio, which he places under his pillow. With
the familiar drone of the announcer's voice for company, the boy
drifts off to sleep. He dreams he has joined his favorite team on
the ice --- where he scores the winning goal! And the boy smiles as
the announcer exclaims, ?What a play! What a goal! What a game!?
Award-winning author Andrew Larsen's simple yet evocative story
sets just the right tone for the youngest children, who can relate
to the boy's disappointment about missing the exciting nighttime
game and his fears that he won't be able to fall asleep. Jacqui
Lee's illustrations in soothing greens and blues are done in a
wonderful blend of nostalgic and contemporary styles that suit the
story's timelessness. This book provides all of the appeal of the
perfect bedtime story: the reassurance of caring parents tucking
the boy in and then coming back later to check on him, the bedtime
routine, the atmospheric winter night outside while it's cozy and
snug inside, and the promise of dreams come true.
