I read this to my son last night because we're working on Light,Sound & Communication for science this week. Didn't expect to enjoy it as much as we did. It starts off with a little girl asking if it's fair that she's the first one to go to bed in her home and everyone else lights are still on. Now, that is something that irks my own kiddo and is a question he asks regularly. He liked this girl from that point. There's a bit of math in this book, subtraction, particularly as the little girl notes all the lights that go off in the apartment building she sees from her bedroom window.

I really liked this book because this book really shows students how to subtract. The little girl stays up late to count how many lights in the apartment across from her goes out before she falls asleep. She starts at 32 and keeps on subtracting untill all the lights are out.
