Illustrated by
LeUyen Pham.
A little girl puts her mom to bed--marching her upstairs, scrubbing her feet in the bath, monitoring teeth-brushing ("Did you brush your teeth?" "Yep." "A nice long time?" "Yep." "Good mommy"), picking out tomorrow's outfit, and "reading" her a book--before falling exhausted into her own bed. The conceit works quite well, with Pham's comical illustrations humorously extending Rosenthal's witty speech-balloon text.
