Children Across America Declare: “Bedtime Is My Favorite Time Now That There Is SteamPotVille!”
BySince time immemorial, Children have cringed at even the slightest mention of a “Bedtime”. Widespread discontent has always arisen from children regarding the concept of bedtime, with regular cheers of “Can’t I just stay up for 10 more minutes?”, “I’m not tired” or even the well-known “You and mom get to stay up late!” issuing from the mouths of children across the world, prompting all manner of cajoling and threats from Parents. But, this debate, as ancient as time, appears to have finally come to an end. Children across the country are rethinking their stance on bedtime thanks to one new development, the release of Children’s Bedtime Tale , SteamPotVille.
SteamPotVille, written and illustrated by Seattle area artist Steve Ouch, is quickly making children across the country look forward joyously to bedtime. Parents everywhere have learned that by simply promising to read SteamPotVille with their children for a few minutes before bed, even the most adamant of bedtime-opposed Children is suddenly gleefully in pajamas, teeth brushed and face washed, without the slightest hint of bitterness or argument.
“I can’t believe how much simpler SteamPotVille has made putting Timmy to bed!” says Cleveland-area mother, Donna Huebner “It used to be a painful struggle every night, but now he’s even started reminding me when it’s time for him to go to bed! Thanks, SteamPotVille!”
The praise doesn’t come all from parents, but. Children seem completely content to be abandoning their once hard-line position on Bedtime.
“I remember when my Mom used to tell me it was time to go to bed, all I knew was ‘I don’t wanna!’” says Cleveland-area child, Timmy Huebner, already in pajamas, even though it’s just six in the evening “Now that I know we’re going to be reading SteamPotVille, bedtime is my favorite part of the day!”
But, this marked drop in children’s bedtime tantrums does not seem to signal a widespread change toward children “behaving” better in general. Vegetable eating still appears to be a major issue for the children’s community, who also continue to cast scorn on any possibility of bedroom cleaning. The singular decline in bedtime resistance may not be a marker of better behavior from children in general, but instead just shows the power and allure of SteamPotVille.
“When I first started writing SteamPotVille, all I really wanted to do was write something so parents would tales to tell children ” Says author and illustrator Steve Ouch “All I wanted to do was make something fun and creative for kids and parents to delight in. But if my book has the power to change the whole way children reckon about bedtime…well, all the better!”
Will this bedtime truce between parents and children last? Only time will tell, but as long as parents keep bringing home copies of SteamPotVille for their kids, you can bet on pleased bedtimes for a while still to come.
