About This Book
In this magical bedtime book, Autumn doesn''t want to sleep. Mother Earth wants to put her wild child, Autumn, to bed. But Autumn isn''t ready. First she wants a song, then a snack, then pj''s, and a kiss. Lynn Plourde''s crisp text crackles like fall leaves and Greg Couch''s illustrations are a color extravaganza. Wild children and their parents will love this scrumptious, satisfying tribute to the wonders of nature and family. Wild Child is the first of four seasonal picture books by Lynn Plourde and Greg Couch.
