Illustrated by
Steven Salerno.
A little girl is too busy playing to get ready for bed. Her mother, feeling that "someone has to get ready for bed," gives the dog a bath, brushes his hair, etc.--just the thing to get her daughter to hop to it. The kinetic art's skewed perspectives underscore the unique, slightly surreal take on an occasionally tedious nightly ritual.
