Bertie at Bedtime

(4) PS Hippo Bernie tries to postpone bedtime. Daddy's attempts fall short as Bernie comes up with one delaying activity after another, and by the end it's Daddy, not Bernie, who falls fast asleep. Though the story is choppy, both children and grownups will relate to the antics. A recurring floral motif in different colors makes the illustrations cohere.
