Never mind another glass of water, never mind about spiders and monsters, it's time to go to bed!

I checked this book out from the public library for A and I to read. I thought it would be perfect for her as it seems she never wants to sleep. It just felt random. Certain pictures seemed kind of scary looking (for example the doctor). It seemed like all this was going on in the day time so of course what kid would want to go to bed or even be tired. I could probably go on and on but this book was just not for us.
