Elwood H. Smith.
When bedtime comes, young Dan has other plans. His list of stall tactics rolls on and on with such wacky diversions as, "Wrap my tummy like a mummy!" and "Walkie-talkie with Milwaukee!" The raucous rhyme is matched by high-energy mixed-media illustrations depicting a victorious Dan who finally triumphs when Mom and Dad fall asleep first.
