Bedtime Is Boring!: A Cheery Street Story
by Georgie Birkett
Cosmo's days of falling asleep wherever he found himself are behind him. Now he has way too much to do to even think of going to sleep-like practicing his karate, finishing his poem about cheese, and having tea with his good friend Bodingle Pumplenaut. No matter how cozy his bedtime rituals with Mommy, there are still so many questions to ask the minute she leaves: Do dogs have spare nostrils? Do ants sleep through thunderstorms? But soon Cosmo finds that he's yawning and closing his eyes just when he doesn't want to-at playtime. Will he finally get the hang of going to bed (and staying in bed)?
