The much-anticipated third and final book in the Jeremiah and Mrs. Ming series is just as captivating and humorous as its predecessors. Mrs. Ming is having a hard time getting to sleep. Each time she begins to relax she hears a cry from Jeremiah's room. "Something took my bear," says Jeremiah. In her calm, assured way Mrs. Ming addresses the problem: "If something is bothering Jeremiah, please stop at once!" At the end, Jeremiah comforts Mrs. Ming, who is afraid of thunderstorms, and they finally do manage to sleep tight. This is a perfect bedtime story. The warm and subtly humorous illustrations by award winning artist, Mireille Levert, along with the repetitive and resonant nature of the story, will entertain and amuse young children night after night.

Santa's parents think their little one is absolutely wonderful, even though he has a booming voice instead of a baby's gurgle, loves to stand in front of the refrigerator, gives his birthday presents away, trains his hamsters to pull a matchbox sleigh ... and has an unusual interest in chimneys. The adorably funny portrait of an oddball kid who fulfills his destiny--and two very proud parents.
