Sleeping Cutie

(4) PS Illustrated by Brian Pinkney. Cutie LaRue refuses to go to bed, so her mother and father purchase Night Owl, a stuffed toy guaranteed to put any child to sleep. When Cutie shakes the owl, he comes to life and whisks her away to a "night" club where they dance until Cutie falls asleep onstage. The text is a bit forced, but jazzy illustrations convey Cutie's charm.
