Thursday is Brunos birthday, and he wishes it didnt have to end. But Friday is coming, and he knows his special day will be gone in the morning. What will happen to Thursday during the night? Where will it go? And can Bruno and his friend Bert find it in time to say goodbye?
This touching, whimsical tale will strike a chord with anyone who wonders about things, and with anyone who has wished that a special day would last forever.
Review
King's ink-and-watercolor illustrations depict a bright, starry, safe-feeling night, populated with animal characters made real by the simplest brushstroke depicting the set of a mouth or the movement of a paw. A perfect bedtime story.
