Illustrated by
Steven Salerno.
"Naptime--no!" This peppy, if slight, portrayal of a baby (and her mom and sister) on the go uses fragmented text ("To the bus! Doors hiss, open close, jingle-jangle coins") and cartoons against electric-colored backgrounds to roll out a vibrant cityscape. With all the hustle and bustle, it's no wonder the tot isn't ready to nap until the family collapses onto a bench at the end.
