A Phase 1/Lilac book for children learning to read. This is a simple story without words. It is time for the young brother and sister to go to bed. Dad asks them to get ready for bed, but each time the little boy protests loudly. It's not time for bed! But when they are at last in bed, he is asleep before dad can even begin reading them their bedtime story!This book is designed for the first stage of teaching children to read, before they begin learning their letters. It is ideal for use at Phase 1 of a phonics programme. It is a wordless book that tells a story through pictures alone. All of Ransom's Phase 1/Lilac Band books are designed to help children develop their speaking and listening skills and improve their vocabulary through creating and telling stories, exploring topics and stimulating discussion.
