Toddler-K–Bedtime battles are a universal experience for caregivers, and this delightful title captures the familiar refrain of “just one more!” perfectly. A young capybara is being put to bed by the parents and keeps requesting just one more thing. “I love you, Dear. Now settle in. How good—but looooong—today has been./ Just one more thing? At least, I think. A cup of water from the sink?” A sweet ending shows the parents checking in just once more after their small child falls asleep.
VERDICT Caregivers and children alike will giggle and relate to this charming story. A great purchase for most libraries.
