by Cynthia Rylant, Brian Biggs (Illustrator)

Overview

Brownie&Pearl get ready for bed in this snuggly Pre-Level 1 Ready-to-Read story.

What sorts of things do Brownie and her cat, Pearl, have to do before they’re ready to hit the hay? First they take a bath and put on pajamas. (Well, Brownie puts on pajamas!) Then it’s time for a snack and a story—about a cat, of course. And then it’s upstairs for a good night’s sleep snuggled up together in a warm, cozy bed!

This adorable ready-for-bed story, originally published as a picture book, is now a Pre-Level 1 Ready-to-Read that’s perfect for beginning readers.
