PLB 0-531-33193-8 Bedbugs (32 pp.; $15.95; PLB $16.99; Sept.; 0-531-30193-8; PLB 0-531-33193-8): Getting ready for bed is a challenge if there’s an ostrich in the bathtub, and everyone knows that it’s hard to brush teeth with a shark in the sink. Both parents and children will identify with Susan’s clever attempts to put off going to sleep and will chuckle at the illustrations showing the transformation of everyday objects into creatures unlikely to reside in any normal family’s home. Johnson is fearless in his depictions of the creatures, imaginary and real, residing in Susan’s home, and the ongoing conversation between father and daughter is one children will recognize and relish.
