Jojo is incredibly excited to finally spend the night in her very own bed inside her very own room. Despite what her older sister Margaret says, Jojo insists that she is not afraid of the dark and will absolutely not return to their shared bedroom.
But when Jojo marches into her new space, she discovers a massive problem. There are wild intruders making themselves comfortable on her floor. A bear, a lion, and a remarkably stubborn tiger all seem to believe that this room belongs to them. Was Margaret right all along about Jojo not being ready for independence?
Jojo must summon all of her courage to lay down the law and show this wild menagerie exactly who is in charge. This wonderfully charming picture book perfectly captures the wild imagination of bedtime routines.
