PS
Young chimp Bobo (of Hug and Tall fame) says "yes" to a bath but "no" when his mom says it's bedtime. The limited text, comprised mainly of "yes" and "no," nonetheless communicates a complete (if not original) story. The gouache illustrations are heavy on blues, greens, and browns, adding to the gentle tone of the story.
