These seven short rhymed anecdotes provide a silly counterpoint to the serious business of going to bed for the toddler set. Textual humor, enhanced by droll illustrations in a madcap rainbow palette, will turn the bedtime ritual into a giggle fest. "Pajamas" informs us, for instance, that "rabbits wear pajamas that are kind of loose. But you've GOT to have buttons if you're a moose" (those pesky antlers). "The chickens in the bathtub,/ The closet full of sheep,/ The sneakers in the freezer/ Are all drifting off to sleep," sings the aptly named "Silly Lullaby." Boynton's bug-eyed menagerie featuring obese hippos in too-tight pajamas, ditzy-looking rabbits, and dopey-faced sheep, among others, is sure to tickle kids and their adult reader-friends alike, and the sturdy board-book format with colorful tabs will guide kids easily to their favorite entries. Plan on hearing "Let's read this one again" tacked onto the provided refrain of "I'm not tired." R--Recommended.
