Illustrated by
Laura Hughes.
Emma's wallpaper is decorated with jungle animals. One night they make so much noise she can't sleep; she climbs in and tries baths and cocoa before finally subduing them with a bedtime story. The illustrations are bright and cheery, but the plot is nothing special, and the border of reality and fantasy remains hazy since she wakes with the tiger in her bed.
