Illustrated by
Kyrsten Brooker.
In this rollicking picture book, the Queen of Trouble can't sleep a wink. After a series of silly suggestions by the king, young Isabella Abnormella Pinkerton McPugh comes up with a solution--the very first queen-sized waterbed. The quirky collages, a mix of oil paint and photographic images, are energetic and funny, and the rhyming text rolls easily off the tongue.
