Illustrated by
Tony Fucile.
Three-year-old Mitchell avoids bedtime until his father lets him "drive" there on his shoulders (i.e., Dad's the car). After a couple of days, Dad starts to find the increasingly roundabout journey tiresome (as might readers; the joke does go on) and takes charge of the ride. Fucile does a nice job signaling the hipster pop's fatigue through his expressions and posture.
