Illustrated by
Jennifer Plecas.
Baby keeps dancing with his stuffed animals instead of napping, so Mama and Papa give up, hauling out the fiddle to have the "best ol' polka-fest / In all of Arkansas!" The bright and bouncy rhyming text, lighthearted illustrations, and well-designed lift-the-flaps will appeal, as will the cheeky baby's flat-out refusal to stay in bed.
