Illustrated by
Kim Fernandes.
A mouse who doesn't want to take her nap cries so many tears that they float her bright yellow sneaker-bed right out to sea. There she frolics with the sea animals and birds of the air until sleep comes to her and her mother floats out in her own sugar-bowl boat to rescue her. Although the story is a bit contrived, the detailed pictures, molded from Fimo, a modeling material, are intriguing.
