This book was written by Eloise Greenfield, in 1976.This book is about a little boy named Tyree who wants to stay up and wait for his dad to get home, but his mom keeps telling him he has to go to bed. Eventually, a deal is reached and Tyree has to get ready for bed, but he can wait in a chair in the living room for his father. As one might have thought, Tyree eventually falls asleep and misses out on the first pink light. In this book, the pink light is representative of the sunrise, which is when Tyree's father is due home. I liked this book and could relate because when I was little, my dad was finishing up college, and so I remember waiting up for him to come home from school. My mom gave me circumstances similar to Tyree's mother. I would use this book in a classroom, because it teaches kids to be patient and to wait for the things they want. Thursday, March 7, 2013
