Illustrated by
Brian Won.
Aliens from the seven other planets (plus "poor Pluto") are racing to bed in their own absurd alien ways, and sleepy little Earthlings should do the same, suggests the bouncy verse. The art is pitch-perfect, with round-bodied, googly-eyed aliens contrasting amusingly with beautifully illuminated, multicolored night skies. The text suggests soothing, silly dreams; and parents won't mind the tidbits of astronomy on the side.
