So Tired, So Wide Awake by Susanne Strasser

It’s bedtime. Hedgehog, Fox, Donkey, Pelican and Crocodile are so tired! But Seal needs to use the bathroom—slip slap slip, out the door. Crocodile forgot to clean those sharp teeth—shlurf shlurf, out the door. And Pelican is thirsty . . .

One by one the animals climb out of bed, until everyone is piled in the child’s bed for a last goodnight kiss. Oof, that’s a heavy pile! What happens now?

Susanne Strasser’s snowballing animal stories that children love are bestsellers in multiple languages. This funny in-and-out-of-bed story ends with a timely fart joke to start the fun all over again.
