Illustrated by
Christopher Weyant.
A little frog (who looks like Monty from Can I Tell You a Secret?) breaks the fourth wall, telling readers he's too excited about tomorrow's boat races to sleep. Off-page suggestions ("A book? I love books! Good idea!") don't help until finally he takes a deep breath and goes to his "happy place." Bedtime-averse readers will readily relate to--and enjoy "helping"--the delightful cartoony frog.
