It's Not Time for Sleep! by Rhatigan, Joe

"Baby, baby, it's time for sleep!"
"I'm not a baby! I'm a racer! BEEP, BEEP!"

So begins a delightful game of cat and mouse between a mom and her little son. Each time Mom tries to put the child to sleep, he turns into a different imaginary character: a race car driver, a pirate, a superhero, and more! These characters have important jobs to do and don't have time for sleep! And this little boy definitely does not want to go to sleep, no matter how tired he gets by the end of the book!

Written completely in rhyming dialog between the mother and child, Baby, Baby, It's Time for Sleep! is the perfect read-aloud for bedtime or anytime a little one needs to snuggle and settle down.
