AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

A little girl insists to her parents that she is not sleepy and her parents tell her that is okay, but she should still move forward with the next step in their bedtime routine. With all the steps completed, she naturally drifts into sleep.

This book has been out for a few years, but is now released as a large format board book. The illustrations in this book steal the show. My favorite is a picture of the little girl tucked under her covers “lying as still as an otter” and the bedspread turns into water with an otter in it and a teddy bear floating in an inner tube.
