Fred's Bed

(3) PS Illustrated by Joann Adinolfi. In this whimsical look at the transition to a big-kid bed, Fred (in clownlike pajamas with a jester-type cap) turns down his mother's silly suggestions: "'Would you care to roll / down a rabbit hole / and snuggle up to sleep?' / 'Too deep,' Fred said." The simple, vivid, circus-colored illustrations make good use of contrast, while the text imbues its well-kept pattern with varied images and smooth rhyme.
