Boom Boom Go Away!

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Bagram Ibatoulline. Toys in a little boy's bedroom want to play their instruments instead of going to sleep, and each tells his or her parent to "Go away!" The colorful yet muted illustrations provide free-form counterpoint to the rhyming onomatopoeic ("bong bong / clink clink / plong plong") text. The "go away" refrain, however, seems to undermine the spirit of bedtime.
