Cornelius P. Mud, Are You Ready for Bed?

(2) PS "Have you put your toys away?" Cornelius P. Mud answers "YES!" to his unobservant parent's bedtime questions, but the illustrations tell a different story (he puts his toys away...in the refrigerator). "'Are you ready for bed?' 'NO!'" This little piggy isn't stalling for time; he's waiting for an important part of the routine: a hug. The simple text and wide-awake pictures are attention-grabbers.
