Illustrated by
Miriam Latimer.
"In a faraway kingdom, a long time ago, / When bedtime drew near, the Prince shouted, 'No!'" So the king and queen try their darndest to get him to fall asleep; in the end, a bedtime story does the trick. Latimer's illustrations have plenty of energy (much like the wide-awake prince), keeping perfect pace with Oppenheim's silly rhymes.
