Illustrated by
David Parkins.
To lull a child to sleep, this enjoyable rhyme lists all the people--librarian, postman, fireman--who are already in their beds. "The doctor is sleeping. Everyone feels well. / The grocer is sleeping. / Food's ready to sell." In the cleverly conceived illustrations, each of the community figures rests cozily in a job-related bed, with an appropriate stuffed animal.
