Monkey: Not Ready for Bedtime

(3) PS Monkey (Monkey: Not Ready for the Baby) can't make himself sleepy at night until his older brother offers advice: "Some people count things to fall asleep. Find something you really like and count it slowly." After several failed attempts, Monkey successfully counts dinosaurs: "One Allosaurus. Two Iguanodons." Hand-lettered text paired with subdued colored-pencil and gouache illustrations effectively convey a child's experience learning sleep strategies.
