Tiger Can't Sleep

(Viking, March 15, 2006)
The well-behaved hero of this story goes right to bed without any fuss. But the show-off tiger in his closet wants to tap-dance and play the drums. An increasingly annoyed little boy argues, scolds, and pleads. "Oops, Tiger is sorry! Tiger will be very, very quiet," Tiger promises- but it's hard to be good when you're alone in the dark. The little boy wonders if he'll ever get to sleep-until he discovers the best way to deal with a noisy tiger is to let him snuggle into bed with you. Children who don't want to settle down at bedtime will happily recognize themselves in this adorable noisemaker.
