A Science Bedtime Story

Hardcover

Grades Preschool – 3
Ages 4–8

It’s bedtime for beaches everywhere—and the Moon is ready to tuck them in. But when one shoreline snuggles up under the cozy blanket of the ocean...the other goes without cover! This hilarious bedtime story from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Strange Planet is sure to lull little ones and their frazzled grown-ups to sleep.

A NPR BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR


Have you ever wondered how a beach goes to bed?

It has to be tucked in, of course!

So, who tucks in all the beaches around the world? The Moon!

There’s just one problem—tucking in one shoreline means another one doesn’t have enough cover. Will the Moon find a way to satisfy everyone so that they can all finally get some sleep?

This tender, laugh-out-loud picture book perfectly captures the bedtime struggle while also teaching kids a pinch of science about the Moon and the tides. And adults and kiddos can check out the backmatter to learn even more about the science behind the tides!

★ "A masterly combination of fantasy and science to tuck in to every bookcase." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
