Each over-the-top declaration of why it can't possibly be bedtime yet leads the group through common bedtime routines in animated and heartwarming scenes--until Lady Pigsworth's demands reach questionable heights, even to the little girl, so she takes matters into her own hands to get both of them into bed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDreamy illustrations and the hilarious Lady Pigsworth make for a perfect read-aloud that will leave any kid content to shut their eyes, at least for a little bit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePAMELA PAUL is an Opinion columnist at the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e and the former editor of \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e.
