(3) PS In a classic role-reversal premise, a pajama-clad little boy struggles to make a large, rambunctious gorilla fall asleep. Two words, "bedtime" and "playtime," dominate their interactions. ("Bedtime! Bedtime! Bedtime!" shouts the frustrated boy. "Playtime?" asks the gorilla, hanging upside-down from a ceiling fan.) Textured mixed-media illustrations are both detailed and spacious, and they pair well with the playful use of text color and placement.
