Mouse Madison forestalls bedtime by repeatedly asking Mommy for "just one more thing." The story doesn't distinguish itself from the multitude of like-themed picture book offerings, but the art, which places human-child motifs (Madison picks up her toys, brushes her teeth) within the context of an animal habitat (her bed is a hollowed-out log, her wardrobe a tree branch), invites contemplation.
