Illustrated by
Marjolein Pottie.
Josie, Ruby, and Little Rick cannot sleep--at least not in their own beds. Their patient and loving father eventually prevails, and Mom comes home to find her family comfortably asnooze in their proper places. Lightly alliterative text describes a familiar drama with gentle humor, and Pottie effectively uses close-ups and boldly outlined images for a dramatic presentation.
