Sempre succede così Papà non vuole andare a letto hahaha This book has a great twist that you never saw coming instead of it being a little boy who doesnt want to sleep it is a little boy who is trying to convince his dad to go to bed.
This book is a fun read and I think would be very interesting to have an a classroom it shows a relationship that one can have between father and son and her family is important.
Cute, but not much to it, This book was so confusing, I kept thinking there was going to be a cute little twist at the end, but nope.
It was just weird. Okuyabileceğiniz en komik çocuk kitaplarından biri,

Kitap, akşamları babasını uyutmayı bir türlü başaramayan bir çocuğun derdini anlatıyor : Çizimleri de dili de son derece eğlenceli.

بطلنا الصغير في معاناة دائمة مع والده. ففي كل ليلة تتكرر ذات القصة القديمة عندما تحين ساعة النوم ويصرخ الأب عاليا "لا لا لا. لا أريد الذهاب إلى الفراش". وكما يفعل الكبار عادة مع أطفالهم لإقناعهم بضرورة النوم باكرا يلجأ بطلنا الصغير إلى كثير من تلك الحيل حتى يرضخ والده لطلبه أخيرا وينام

في قالب مشبع بالظرف واللطافة تعكس الأدوار بين الأب الكبير القوي وابنه الصغير فنرى واحدة من أكثر الأمور اليومية شقة على الآباء لكن من منظور أطفالهم وبطريقة تعزز رابط المحبة والتقدير بينهم.

هذه القصة الطريفة للغاية ستروق للكبار قبل صغارهم حتما بسبب كل تلك الفكاهة المميزة في النص والرسم معا لكن لأنا أيضا ستكشف لهم قدرة لعبة بسيطة كلعبة "تبادل الأدوار" على تحقيق غايات مهمة ونبيلة تتجاوز حدود المتعة والتسلية فقط.

هذه القصة من أظرف ما قرأت والرسم الشبيه برسوم الأطفال جاء مناسبا جدا لغاتها وطبيعتها وقادرا بنجاح على نقل الحس الفكاهي إلى القارئ. Translated from the French, this picture book takes the traditional bedtime story and turns it upside down.
Every night its the same thing, Dad does not want to go to bed, The boy tries to get his father to bed nicely by using logic, but his dad just gets wilder and wilder.
The boy refuses to chase after him, instead offering a quiet story together, That always works, and the two of them sit together in a chair: the father on the boys small lap.
Two stories later, and the boy finally has his father tucked into bed, but the process is not done yet.
The boy cant head to his own bed yet or his father will ask to sleep with him.
And though his father may be big and strong, hes also afraid of the dark,

Read the rest of my review on my blog, sitelinkWaking Brain Cells, Cute book! Loved the simple illustrations and the fresh take on bedtime routines, This is a hilarious story about a reversal of roles between parent and child, specifically at bedtime.
The story is really fun to read aloud, and would be great for a partner read, with one person reading the dad's dialogue and the other reading the rest of the narrative.
The illustrations are an interesting mix of texures, mixed media and pictures and the paper used for the book is unusually thick.
Overall, we

really enjoyed reading this story together, Cuando voy a bibliotecas miro a la gente que las visita, como yo, y observo los tipo de usuarios que son, los tipos de lectores.
Las bibliotecas son pequeñas sociedades unidas por el hilo de la lectura y me maravillan, Curioseo los rostros, trato de analizar sus motivaciones y sobre todo contemplo los distintos tipos de familias cuando estoy en la sección infantil.

Madres y padres, padres, madres, madres y madres, padres y padres acompañando a sus pequeños vástagos en busca de lecturas para el fin de semana, para las vacaciones, para casa de los abuelos, para los deberes del cole

Tantos tipos de familias como se pueda imaginar uno reunidas allí, van y vienen con pilas de libros en las manos.

Tantos tipos de padres como se pueda imaginar uno allí, siguiendo a sus pequeños devoradores de libros.

Y tantos tipos de niños lectores como se pueda imaginar uno reunidos allí, con esa excepcional independencia que todo lector cultiva desde bien pequeño, eligiendo, deambulando entre estanterías, curiosos y críticos, hambrientos de palabras, sabiendo que es finito el número de libros prestados que caben en un carnet y paladeando aquellos que mejor saben, apartándolos para llevárselos.


Niños como el protagonista de Mi papá, que necesita leerle cuentos a su díscolo padre que nunca quiere ir a dormir, un papá que corretea, suplica, pide otro cuento más y hace pucheros mientras su hijo, inflexible, lo persigue, lo escucha, le lee incansable, lo que sea con tal de que se duerma.

Un libro con voz de niño, en primera persona, en el que los niños que no quieren dormir se verán reflejados y seguro que les hará reír.
Un libro dulce, con unas ilustraciones modernas, para papás e hijos lectores, para todo tipo de papás, para todo tipo de familias pero sobre todo para para papás que nunca se quieren ir a dormir.


sitelink com Bir baba, her gece uyumamakta ısrar eder ve çocuğu ona tatlılıkla, anlayışla yardımcı olur.
Çok çok tatlı, eğlenceli bir rol değişikliği üstünden ele alıyor uyku meselesini.
Babasını güçlü ve kocaman olduğu hâlde kucağına alıp hikâye okur minik, uyumadan önce güçlü ve kuvvetli olduğu hâlde koridorun ışığını onun karanlık korkusuna anlayış göstererek açık bırakır.
Okuduğum en tatlı okul öncesi hikâye kitaplarından biri olabilir, Kitaptaki çocuğu ve babasını kendi isimlerimizle okuyoruz, Her gün uyumaya direnmeye karşı bu kitabın ironisi harika: “Bir kitap daha, ne olur, bir tane daha”! Few picture book titles come with qualifications.
More often than not they are statements of strong purpose, sitelinkI Can Do It Too or sitelinkNo I Want Daddy, Declarative books with forthright ideas and messages for the preschool set, Thats all well and good, but sometimes you want a book that entices you to pick through its pages from the title onward.
Now there is no doubt that My Dad Is Big and Strong, But, . . is a work of translation, From the minute you look at it it has all the signs, The drawings are fun and eclectic but they feel strangely, . . European, perhaps And the art inside is a mix of mixed media photographs and graphite, Then theres the story, which doesnt end with that kooky twist we Americans almost require in books of this sort these days.
Finally there's that title that seems to float in midair without direction, Yes, there is no doubt left in your mind that this is a French translation, but there is also no doubt that it is one of the most charming and engaging picture books to hike down the pike in years.
A story that upsets expectations but retains its heart, this is the perfect bedtime fare for any kiddo that rejects the very notion of going to sleep and who has a sense of humor.


Our heros dad has many fine and outstanding qualities, He is big. He is strong. But he does have one significant flaw thats hard to overlook, Every night its the same old story, When bedtime rolls around he just adamantly refuses to go, The only thing to do is to start out by reading him some stories, After two hell demand another but his son is having none of it, Its straight to bed and a game of waiting until the dads asleep if the son tries to go to bed early hell just have to contend with a wide awake dad barging into his room anyway.
Finally he seems to be asleep but just as the son attempts to turn out the life he hears, “No, dont do that! Leave the light on!” Because while his dad may be big and strong hes also a bit afraid of the dark.


Theres an entire subgenre of picture books out there where expectations are upended to the delight of the child reader.
I can think of four books off the top of my head where a character is scared about the first day of school and then turns out to be a teacher sitelinkBack to School Tortoise by Lucy M.
George was the latest. And Amy Krouse Rosenthal went to town with the idea in sitelinkLittle Pea a pea refuses to eat his dinner of candy, sitelinkLittle Hoot an owl wants to go to bed while his parents insist he stay up all night, and sitelinkLittle Oink a pig doesnt want to dirty his room.
Saudos book isnt the first Ive seen about a parent not wanting to go to bed either.
Last year Amy Krouse Rosenthal yet again came out with sitelinkBedtime for Mommy, It was a sweet enough book and the illustrations by LeUyen Pham were divine but theres something about My Dad is Big and Strong thats better.
I cant quite put my finger on it, but it has something to do with the combination of storytelling, visual and verbal.


The art itself is just a delight, Illustrator Kris Di Giacomo likes to draw figures with striking profiles then give them whole heaping handfuls of energy.
The boys dad does flips and throws himself bodily to the floor when the prospect of beddybye looms near.
I enjoyed the fact that the dad always wears his hat, even when hes tucked into bed.
And in these images we never have a moment where the roles are reversed, even for a second.
The son is clearly the son in this situation and though he is filling the role of makeshift parent, hes still just a kid.
How else to explain the images of his father picking him up, or the family photos on the walls behind them Finally, from an aesthetic standpoint I couldnt help but love that the pages of the book itself were thick and sturdy.
They make it feel like its worthy of holding on to and treasuring,

Is translation an art or a science A little of both, I think, In this case it was Claudia Zoe Bedrick who took it upon herself to translate the text of Mon Papa, Il est Grand, Il est Fort, MAIS.
Now some translations feel wrong and awkward, Their words feel all elbows and angles, like someone tried to physically cram them into the wrong context.
Nothing about this book feels like that, The language flows naturally like when the son explains to his father that he needs to get his rest so that hell be in good shape the next day “its right at that moment that things get complicated” Bedrick is adept at pulling out just the right phrase at the right moment, but even more impressive is the fact that she manages to convey the right tone with the writing.
The book projects this very familiar parental feeling of affection riddled with irritation, It is sweet and it is patient but it is also pretty darn clear that the son would like to go to bed himself and that just aint happening.
We relate. Kids won't. They'll just find it funny,

Heck, I even liked the typography of this book, which is saying something right there.
I do worry that with its brownish cover theres a possibility that potential readers will pass right by this book without noticing it on the shelf.
The trick is to get it into their hands by talking it up, Once you do, the story will reward them with its strange sweetness, Parents are always looking for interesting bedtime fare, and to find one thats funny to boot is just a nice plus.
Dont be turned off by the fact that at a glance it doesnt resemble the hundred carbon copy titles out there about reluctant sleepyheads.
This book is a true original in the best sense, Consider it your own little secret weapon on the war on bedtime, A find.

For ages.
