Where Does Thursday Go? By Janeen Brian, illustrated by Stephen Michael King 2001
Bruno the bear is sad to see his birthday end, and wishes he could say goodbye. He wonders what happens to the day when night comes, so he and his penguin friend Bert venture out into the night. They wander through watercolors drenched in blue, trying to bid the day farewell. Bruno describes what he thinks Thursday looks like, and once they see it, they fall into a peaceful sleep.
King’s cozy vision of nighttime paired with the gentle tone of Brian’s text makes this a sweet bedtime read. It also helps children to better understand the passage of time.
Appropriate for ages 3-6
