'I wonder where the water goes?' Timothy asks as he watches it disappear down the drain. After being tucked into bed by his mother, Timothy drifts into a dream filled sleep in which he returns to the bathtub-where he change sizes and rides his toy sailboat right down the drain! There he meets the bathtub water cleaning monsters who take him on a frantic frolic. Timothy and the monsters jump on all the beds in their bedtime party until they finally collapse into sleep! One of the monsters dreams of taking a sailboat to Timothy's home to be kissed and tucked in sweetly by Timothy's mother. Meanwhile Timothy sails back home to sleep in his own little bed-until morning when he runs to his mother's bed to tell her all about his terrific dream!' Written by research psychologist Anne Speckhard, Timothy Tottle's Terrific Dream addresses key bedtime concerns of young children in a soothing cadence. Playful suggestions prompt children to gently relinquish play and drift slowly into a sweet dream-filled sleep. Touching illustrations by New York city's emerging artist, Jessica Speckhard show the love between mother and child, the playfulness of dreams and provide the security to let go and drift into sleep... Timothy Tottle's Terrific Dream is the first in the series of Timothy Tottle's Amazing Adventures, published by Little Fingertips Press, an imprint of Advances Press, LLC. 3
