Review of Stevie Tenderheart Books WAIT A MINUTE! (An Illustrated Novella)
[Following is a volunteer review of "Stevie Tenderheart Books WAIT A MINUTE! (An Illustrated Novella)" by Steve William Laible.]
Stevie Tenderheart Books: Wait a Minute! (A Bedtime Story) by Steve William Laible is a delightful journey into the world of Stevie, a boy who embraces his uniqueness with enthusiasm. From his love for reading and writing to his penchant for making others smile, Stevie shines through in this heartwarming tale.
The narrative revolves around Stevie's bedtime routine, where he faces the dilemma of accommodating all his cherished possessions in his bed. From marbles to snacks, his bed becomes a treasure trove of his favorite things, each item prompting Stevie to exclaim, "WAIT A MINUTE," as he contemplates their inclusion in his nightly sanctuary. Through Stevie's imaginative musings, readers get a series of whimsical scenarios, each showcasing his boundless creativity and inquisitive nature.
Laible's storytelling has playful rhymes and gentle humor, making it a perfect bedtime read for young audiences. The illustrations, lovingly crafted by a 90-year-old artist, add to the charm of the narrative, capturing the essence of Stevie's world.
More than a bedtime story, Wait a Minute! celebrates childhood wonder and the joy of imagination. It encourages children to embrace their individuality and curiosity while providing a soothing and comforting experience for bedtime rituals. In addition, the story offers a respite from the hustle and bustle of the day, allowing children to unwind and feel silly, loved, and safe as they drift off to sleep.
With its endearing characters, playful narrative, and enchanting illustrations, Wait a Minute! can become a favorite for children and parents alike. The story reminds readers of the magic of storytelling and the power of imagination to transform even the simplest moments into adventures worth savoring.
However, the abundance of characters and items introduced in Stevie’s bedtime routine could overwhelm some young readers, particularly those who prefer straightforward narratives. In addition, the rhymes and playful language may seem challenging for readers developing their literacy skills. Moreover, the silliness of this bedtime story may be more stimulating than calming for some children. Despite these possible drawbacks, Wait a Minute! is error-free, well-edited, and worth reading. At its best, it is a fun tool for education about animals, foods, and healthy routines. I rate it 5 out of 5 stars.
