(2) K-3 Toon Book series. Tippy sleepwalks, attracting followers on her somnambulistic ramblings à la the Pied Piper. In the morning beleaguered Mama wonders, "What is this MESS?!"; Tippy replies, "All I remember...is falling ASLEEP!" Carré skillfully employs a limited color palette, with warm oranges underscoring the messy mayhem of Tippy's room and cool midnight blues and slate grays providing a serene backdrop for Tippy's late-night adventures.
