Huddle Up! Cuddle Up!

Illustrated by Michael Deas
The countdown to bedtime has begun. If you want to snooze, you can't lose in this football/bedtime mash-up!

It's Sunday night, football night, and the countdown clock to bedtime is winding down. Will the Dream Team be able to get to bed on time? First there's the pre-game warm-up in the bath, then it's time to get suited up in pajamas, and don't forget your fancy footwork. After some interference from the family dog and a full-counter sweep of the kitchen, it's time to huddle up and cuddle up for a bedtime story time-out!

Award-winning author Bethany Hegedus shows how football time equals family time in this hilarious twist on the bedtime ritual. Young football fans will finally want to huddle up and get ready for bed because sleep time has never been so much fun!
Bethany Hegedus has spent time above and below the Mason-Dixon Line. While she currently makes her home in Austin, Texas, she spent her formative years in Georgia and Illinois. Bethany cares deeply for children, having once been a high school teacher and youth advocate. She holds an MFA in writing for children and young adults from Vermont College of Fine Arts. This is her second children’s book. Please visit her at www.bethanyhegedus.com. View titles by Bethany Hegedus
"Sports fans will love the idea of gathering the family together for a “Story-Time-Out” as they settle their children for a nap or at night. A cute read for any family that is missing out on sports (or needs a change-up in their bedtime reading)." --Kirkus Reviews
