In the land of capadeedoo, a creative mother uses her imagination to take her restless son on a magical journey to Capadeedoo in hopes of getting him to sleep.
In this inventive rhyme, similar to Dr. Suess, a playful mother will coax her restless son into bed with promises of an amazing adventure. First thing’s first though, he must lie still and close his eyes, while they go on this mystical ride. Then they travel to the moon to find the land of Capadeedoo. Along the way they meet a silly bear with pink and purple hair and a kangaroo with an odd choice in clothing. You will fall in love with these playful characters in this enjoyable tale of a unique mother who chooses her own kind of bed time story.
This story is dear to my heart because it came about much like I wrote it. My three year old son was restless one night and so I had him shut his eyes as I took him on an adventure in his mind. After our journey I decided that our story should be told. So I turned it into this playful rhyme, but I must admit that I feel like putting “non-fiction” as the genre. I wrote my first children’s book when I was ten and it went on to win a local award and was put on display at our local library. Based on your interest in children’s picture books, I feel that this story is a good fit for you. As a courtesy I would like to inform you that this is a multiple submission. Thank you for considering my children’s picture book the land of capadeedoo.
