(4) K-3 Illustrated by Brita Granström. In this second story starring Florence and her stuffed-animal monkey, Arnold, Florence keeps inventing reasons why she can't sleep: Arnold needs a lullaby, wants a story, etc. Lewis's narration strains for a child's voice ("I...yawn a yawn BIGGER than Arnold's tummy"), but young readers will root for her protagonist regardless. The joyfully jumble-filled scenes feature Florence's bedtime-delaying drawings.
