Help Wanted, Must Love Books
Shailey loves bedtime, especially reading with her dad. But her dad starts a new job, and it gets in the way of their bedtime routine. So Shailey takes action! She fires her dad, posts a Help Wanted sign, and starts interviews immediately. She is thrilled when her favorite characters from fairytales line up to apply. But Sleeping Beauty can't stay awake, the Gingerbread Man steals her book, and Snow White brings along her whole team. Shailey is running out of options. Is bedtime ruined forever?

About the Author
Sumner Johnson, Janet: - Janet Sumner Johnson has been writing for as long as she can remember. She bakes a mean cinnamon twist and eats way more cookies than are good for her, which explains her running habit. Though her full-time occupation as Mom takes most of her time, she sneaks in writing at night when her inner funny bone is fully unleashed. Janet lives in Utah with her husband and three kids.
Praise for this book
Warm digital illustrations highlight Shailey's plight, and the job posting, which Shailey updates after each failed round of interviews, provides a colorful recurrent motif. Professional diction throughout--such as "individual applicants" and "impressive résumé"--and a message about screen time seem more geared toward adult caretakers than young kids, but the look at distractions readers face in a constantly moving digital world will likely prove resonant with adults and children alike.-- "Publishers Weekly"
The HR jargon the book depends on may sail over young readers' heads, but the book's saucy tone has the potential to delight a broad audience. . . .Cheery and lighthearted...-- "Kirkus Reviews"
Readers will easily engage with this adorable book, both through its familiar literary characters and the young girl's love of reading with a parent, making it a welcome addition to the collections of librarians or reading specialists.-- "Booklist"
