Buddy's Bedtime Battery

(4) PS Illustrated by Tim Bowers. Buddy wants to stay awake and play robot, so his parents humor him until "Ro-Buddy" tires himself through pre-bedtime activities and "powers down" for sleep; a brief nighttime waking ("ALERT! Ro-Buddy is out of his cuddle pod!") shakes up the ending slightly. The colorful art provides a cozy atmosphere, but the cutesy story doesn't stand out much in the crowded field of bedtime books.
