In an unforgettably catchy bedtime adventure, singer-songwriter Eric Litwin -- author of the first three mega-bestselling Pete the Cat books -- invites readers to chime in and join the nutty, pun-filled fun, with a downloadable song available!

It's bedtime at the Nut House, but little Wally and Hazel Nut aren't ready to go to sleep. "We're Nuts! We're Nuts! We're Nuts!" Why go to bed when you could be singing and howling at the moon? But Mama Nut insists... "All little Nuts need to go up to bed!" Who will win this bedtime tug-of-war? Readers can listen to and/or download Litwin's bluesy spoken-sung performance of the book and additional songs at www.TheNutFamily.com.

More fun and funny reads from award-winning author and illustrator Scott Magoon. The first of three "punny" tales about utensils. A lovely reminder to celebrate what makes each of us special. The day an inseparable pair come to a fork in the road. Not exactly a sequel to Spoon. More like a change in place setting. Completing the trio of "punny" stories, it's the last STRAW! A fun reminder to savor life's little pleasures. A joyful ode to the power of creativity and collaboration, in this story of two opposite sides of the same pencil trying to get along. You can't resist the disco-inspired dancing of Grandma Nut and the whole Nut Family! Get ready to sing and dance (in polka dot pants!) Another nutty adventure! What do you do when life gets you down? Keep rolling!

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 2—In this fun, familiar story, it is bedtime, but the kids aren't ready to go down yet. Big Mama Nut tries to get little Hazel and Wally into bed, but they are too busy using their imaginations to be astronuts, playing and singing, "We're Nuts! We're Nuts! We're Nuts." Finally, Mama gives them THE LOOK, and the little ones resolve to settle down. Needless to say, nutty puns abound, some of which may go over the heads of young readers but will surely amuse older kids. Magoon's bright, digital illustrations complement the text to a tee. Pair this perfect storytime read with Marcus Pfister's Bertie at Bedtime (NorthSouth, 2010). Children will ask for it again and again.—Martha Rico, El Paso ISD, TX

Review

"[A] perfect storytime read... children will ask for it again and again." ―School Library Journal

"Magoon's (Spoon) digital illustrations create a boisterous world for the Nut family to inhabit (their home features a ball pit and an observatory... Pete the Cat author Litwin leans heavily on nut related puns (while Wally and Hazel pretend to be astronauts, an off-stage voice announces, "Houston, we have a praline!" as Hazel plants a flag for the "Unutted States")... as it makes its way to a reassuring bedtime conclusion."―Publishers Weekly

BEWARE OF THIS BOOK!! PLEASE READ BETWEEN THE LINES!!
So I bought this book for my grandson without reading it first, its highly Inappropriate.I mean children are influenced by what they read, see and hear.i won't be surprised if this review doesn't get published.The symbols that are seen throughout this book mean something and belong to a certain group of individuals (i would love to call them something else but can't because I would like for this to possibly be put up for others to see)

5.0 out of 5 stars Dad disappears, but otherwise a fun read/sing!
Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2018

Fun repetition and a singable quality common to Eric Litwin books. A great add-on if you've collected Groovy Joe and/or early Pete the Cat.

Got a chuckle once I noticed how dad just snoozes on the couch and isn't seen again. Give a listen to the Eric Litwin recording after you've read through a few times to compare your singing style to the "official" version. (My wife and I each went in different and unique voices, which is a fun result to observe)

Not that I've tried, but definitely a big book with big clear print which can be read very fast, making it a great choice for early readers with a short attention span.

Addictive, easy participation story! Our 2 yr old grandchild started off simply joining in with "go nuts!" and now retells whole portions of the story. One of the most-requested books, not just at bedtime. Go to the website and download the free songs. So much literacy learning and FUN going on!

Adorable story and I love that you can check out the website to hear it read with music and listen to the lullaby at the end. Something all parents can relate to when it comes to our own little Nuts! I was a fan of Eric Litwin from the original Pete the Cat. Very pleased to see he's continuing with more children's books! Loved it so much I donated a copy to my son's first grade class as well. It's on the list of books for Accelerated Reader!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must buy for Pete the Cat (Litwin) fans

If your kids love Pete the Cat by Eric Litwin, they will love this book. Rhyming, songs, repetition and bright art work. My 3 and 6 year old grands love it. Six year old can read the words or just sing along and enjoy the fun. Download the free song so you know the tune ahead of time. I must have read it 10 times in 2 days. The kids had it memorized so I really only turned the pages and said one word. They filled in the rest, including howling at the moon.

Ordered from Amazon Canada but shipped from US. Arrived exactly when promised and in perfect new condition.

I love this book! It's sweet and completely reminds me of bedtime when I was a kid, as well as tells me what bedtime will be like when my son is just a little bit older. The battle of wills is captured perfectly.

I love Eric Litwin's other books so was keen to buy this, and it did not disappoint. There's good use of rhyme and repetition, a super song (that my son was singing by our second read) and the illustrations are gorgeous. My son frequently asks for the "nut book". I think just about every parent and child will identify with the story. This is a great bedtime book, and I can't wait to see what Mr Litwin comes up with next.
