Booklist - 11/01/2024 Chip the penguin is not tired and suggests to his mother that they switch places: she’ll go to bed and he’ll be the grown-up and watch TV all night. Chip’s mom is no dummy; she goes along with his idea but makes him jump through all the hoops she presumably has to jump through every night while putting Chip to bed. Chip tucks her in, finds her preferred stuffed animal, reads her a story, and, just when he thinks he’ll finally get to watch TV, his mother calls him back and hands him a list of things that need to be done before morning. Being a grown-up is exhausting! The artwork is deceptively simple, with much of the communication between mother and son happening through their facial expressions, while Chip’s solutions to completing his mother’s to-do list are shown through sight gags. Easily relatable to most readers at bedtime, this early-reader graphic novel is as charming as it is amusing. - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
