Principal Fred Won't Go To Bed edition by Carolyn Crimi Donald Wu Children eBooks Reviews

The afternoon I received the book, I opened the package, pulled out the book, and there was a knock on the door. My Mom happened to be swinging by to say hi to the boys and me.

My 3 year old grabbed the book and asked Grandma if she would read to him. They sat down and started reading. A few moments later, my 6 year old joined them and asked them to start the book over... which they did.

Principal Fred has come home from work, ate dinner with his family and is ready for bed. But as he gets ready for bed, he notices that he can't find his bear. He begins to look all over the house with the help of his family.

The pictures are fun, the story attention-grabbing, and there is a cute rhyming pattern to the book. This is now on the top of our bedtime-books pile.
Principal Fred has made it home from work, eaten his dinner, and headed up towards bed, when he realized that his teddy bear was missing. This simply won't do! Principal Fred and his entire family attempt to find teddy while also trying several other things that may help him feel comfortable enough to go to bed. Once teddy is finally found, then everyone can settle down and drift off to sleep.

While this is told in rhyme and is generally a fun read, the shining star of this book are the illustrations. They are just beautiful. They are fun, cartoonish, and so bright. The movement is consistent. Even in the cover art, you can see the frantic movement as Principal Fred attempts to go to bed. It's humorous and perfect. Even the font gets involved in the artwork through a huge slip and fall. It really is very cute and my daughter loves the drawings.
This is such a cute book, everyone in my house enjoyed it.

Principal Fred, after returning home from a long day at school, is happy until bedtime. He realizes that he has lost his bear and true to a child's form, chaos breaks out as the entire family runs themselves ragged looking for the bear.

For any parent who has been tortured by a distraught child who can't find that one thing; a bear, a piece of paper with a heart sticker on it, the special string he got from Grandma's, that one toy from McDonalds that only reappeared after a 2 year absence. Now they are the most important thing on the planet and you must locate it in your 1500 square foot house. Best of luck!

The twist here, the fact that he's a Principal makes it not only funny, but allows children to imagine those teachers and staff at school going home. I promise you that isn't done often. I swear mine think those teachers live in their classrooms and offices.

This is a sweet book with great illustrations. Kids can find the bear hiding in many scenes, giving them the satisfaction of knowing that the bear is safe the whole time, just misplaced. Who knows? Perhaps my child might learn that misplacing something doesn't mean "lost forever"?
Carolyn Crimi, Principal Fred Won't Go to Bed (Two Lions, 2010)

For some reason, the Bean was not nearly as fond of this one as I was (and as unfortunate as it is, I did knock points off for that—as I ave often said, when it comes to pre-lit these days, the Bean is the final arbiter of taste at Goat Central). It's a simple and obvious idea, and it's probably been done a hundred times before, but I've never seen it until now take an adult who is normally in a position of power over kids—in this case a school principal—and map toddler behavior onto him. I found the result hilarious. One of the first times I was ready to read a pre-lit book again right after we'd finished, but this time Bean was having none of it, and in fact I never got in another perusal of it during storytime before it had to go back to the library. I'll try it on him again when he's a bit more grown, because from an adult perspective, this one's pretty boss. According to the two-year-old, though, not so much. ***
The plot of the book is as follows Principal Fred refuses to go to sleep until he can find his stuffed teddy bear. Spoiler alert, he eventually finds it. That's it. As dumb as it sounds, the illustrations are great and there is something charming about the whole thing.

As an adult, I was really turned off by Principal Fred's childishness, but I had to remind myself that a 5-year-old would probably think it hilarious that the principal acts like such a baby.

The problem I see, and why I'm only giving three stars, is that the Principal joke (adults acting childish? Ha ha ha!) is only good for one read-through. If you want to make this a standard good-night book, the principal joke will get old real quick and in fact start to get a little creepy. Do you really want to send your darling into dreamland with an image of a grown man crawling into bed with his wife? Well, that is literally how it ends.

I do think the adult-acting-like-a-baby joke has a redeeming quality that isn't purely comical though. It is a kind of child-friendly satire that exposes the ridiculousness of outrageous tantrums. A child may not understand how silly it is to cry over a missing teddy bear until seeing an adult (and a principal, no less!) acting this way.

OVERALL Some cute rhymes, great illustrations and a plot that is debatably good. Were it not for the subtle satire, I would give it a lower rating because I find the whole concept to be weird, but I do think the 5-6 year old crowd will get a kick out of it. I doubt they'll ever want to read it twice, but the first time ought to score a few smiles.
From an educational standpoint this is a really bad book. Ridiculous storyline.
