Patrick Picklebottom and the Longest Wait

DESCRIPTION

Patrick Picklebottom is back - and so is his love of books and reading!

This time, when Patrick sees a sign announcing story time is coming up, he's the first to arrive. But to his dismay, however, he arrives hours early, and the wait just feels like forever. Patrick has his work cut out for him to keep himself occupied, and not go stir-crazy during his very long wait.

Was it five yet? He looked at the clock just to see,
but oh no! It was only two minutes past three.
It felt like a week had already gone by -
and for a moment he thought he might break down and cry.

He had to find something to pass time along,
so he decided to start...by singing a song.
He began with "Dem Bones," right into "Blind Mice"
then some '80s rock ballads that he thought were quite nice.

He was dancing around, having all sorts of fun, and the next thing he knew, it was 3:31.

Join Patrick Picklebottom as he explores his imagination to make the longest wait ever a while lot more fun. Using art and music, Patrick creates new worlds for himself and the reader, showcasing that in any trip, there's far more fun in the journey than in the destination. And with a surprise twist at the end, we never know where his imagination will take us next!

Written lyrically by Mr. Jay, bestselling author of Patrick Picklebottom and the Penny Book, this latest addition to the Patrick Picklebottom collection expands on what is sure to become a classic character in children's literature.

I’ve been reading this book every night since Christmas. My three year old hasn’t missed a night! In fact, pretty sure I have it memorized. You can tell from the story and the artwork, this was made with love. We have another Patrick Picklebottom book (The Penny Book) and it’s just as well done. Sometimes with stories that rhyme all the way through, it can seem a bit lacking, but these have quite a bit of depth. Maybe that sounds dramatic but there’s a convincing weight to the way these books convey a window into Patrick’s life. The artwork helps as well but the words do a fantastic job of painting a great picture by themselves! This series is well worth the investment.

This has been one of my greatest book finds on amazon. Illustration is fantastic, and the story teaches kids about waiting/ patience. I love that it gives kids ideas about what to do when they have some free time or have to wait for an appointment. Lookinh foward to getting more books from this author.

As an early childhood educator and parent, I love this book. Children nowadays are constantly provided with something to occupy them, whether technology or ten million toys. But what children need most is the opportunity to be bored, self direct, and let creativity and imagination soar! The Longest Wait provides children and parents that getting bored is a great thing! All through the best medium; a beautiful book! ❤
