PS
"Have you put your toys away?" Cornelius P. Mud answers "YES!" to his unobservant parent's bedtime questions, but the illustrations tell a different story (he puts his toys away...in the refrigerator). "'Are you ready for bed?' 'NO!'" This little piggy isn't stalling for time; he's waiting for an important part of the routine: a hug. The simple text and wide-awake pictures are attention-grabbers.
