"Ten little sleepyheads / talking to their toys. / One falls asleep / in the middle of the noise." Bugs keep nodding off until there's only one little arthropod left. He's wide awake, alas, so readers are encouraged to begin the book again. The concept is familiar, but the taut rhymes and the images of improbably adorable pajama-clad insects recommend the book.
