It's time for bed!
But no one is ready for bed.
The raccoon has the hiccups.
The narwhal needs to take her bath.
And the bear is hungry.

What reviewers said
"It's rare that a children's author appeals to adults, but when it happens, it's usually magic; Dr. Seuss, Shel Silverstein.... Well, I've found another to add to the list: Todd Parr."
"Each book offers his bold, almost Haringesque signature style incorporating primary colors with messages that encourage and empower children to communicate their feelings while embracing their individuality."
