Stevie sounds like such a lovable, imaginative little guy. I can totally picture kids giggling at his wild ideas. I like that the story encourages healthy habits while still keeping things light and silly. The book would be a sweet one to read out loud before bedtime.Priya Murugesan wrote: ↑29 Apr 2024, 06:26 [Following is a volunteer review of "Stevie Tenderheart Books WAIT A MINUTE!

Stevie Tenderheart Books Wait a Minute! (An Illustrated Novella) by Steve William Laible
This book is part of a series called 'Stevie Tenderheart Books'. This fascinating bedtime story is about a silly little boy named Stevie, who loves his bed very much. When the story begins, we see him in his favorite place, his bed, ready to sleep. But now his imagination kicks in, and he fantasizes about filling his bed with his favorite things. His thoughts are racing and jumping from here to there. He visualizes filling his bed with wild things like balls, food, and even animals. You would be surprised to see how far his imagination goes, and it was very funny to read about his comical actions. It accurately depicts how young children's minds would work. Young kids would relate to Stevie and surely enjoy reading this whimsical tale.
I found the following compelling quote at the beginning of the book:
"If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales.
If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales."
- Albert Einstein
You can see many quotes like this in the book, and I relished reading them.
Illustrations are the pillars of a children's book, and this book is filled with cute, lively illustrations, which I adored. The book cover also grabbed my attention immediately.
The dedication page was heartwarming. At first glance, the book's title confused me slightly. However, after reading the book, I understood how the title was relevant to the story and very apt. The author has imbibed many good values in the book, like not eating snacks in bed, taking a good bath, etc. He also instills good eating habits in children by showing how Stevie loves to eat fruits and vegetables. He also emphasizes the importance of sleep. He mentions "being different rocks" in his story. This is a great thought that will instill confidence in children. The author's writing style is lively and has a friendly conversational tone. He poses many questions in his story, directed toward the readers.
The editing is exceptional, and I didn't notice any errors. I loved this book and have no complaints. It is a perfect bedtime companion for young children. So my rating is 5 out of 5 stars.
