Illustrated by
Cyd Moore.
When a father calls his daughter "Princess Pruney Toes" at bath time, he begins an imaginative exchange that adds pizzazz to their bedtime preparations. She dubs him "Sir Daddy," and her nightgown becomes "an exquisite gown of pure spun gold." Energetic illustrations reflect the playful father-daughter conversation; the ending is satisfying if sentimental.
