(3) K-3 Illustrated by Scott Campbell. Roderick is a major bedtime procrastinator. Desperate, his parents give him Sleepy, a "goodnight buddy" stuffie of indeterminate species. Unfortunately, Sleepy has a list of demands ("It's too dark in here. / Now it's too bright," and so forth). Although Roderick gets a taste of his own medicine, its bitterness is diluted by Campbell's pillow-soft digitally tweaked watercolors supporting Daywalt's cheeky-chummy story.
