When Cosmo was a tiny tadpole, he could sleep anywhere! What happened? This funny, endearing story is sure to have parents and little ones giggling in recognition.
Cosmo's days of falling asleep wherever he found himself are behind him. Now he has way too much to do to even think of going to sleep—like practicing his karate, finishing his poem about cheese, and having tea with his good friend Bodingle Pumplenaut. No matter how cozy his bedtime rituals with Mommy, there are still so many questions to ask the minute she leaves: Do dogs have spare nostrils? Do ants sleep through thunderstorms? But soon Cosmo finds that he's yawning and closing his eyes just when he doesn't want to—at playtime. Will he finally get the hang of going to bed (and staying in bed)? From the creator of Carry Me! comes another very familiar story that promises to make bedtime anything but boring.

      A curious froglet asks too many questions before bedtime. When Cosmo was just a tadpole, he would sleep anywhere and everywhere. Tightly swaddled, he would snuggle down, and the snoozing wouldn't stop. But as Cosmo grew, things changed. Now he has many important tasks to complete each night, such as practicing karate, writing poetry about cheese, or having tea with a favorite stuffed animal. "BEDTIME IS BORING!" he shouts while hopping on his bed. His bedraggled, sleep-deprived mom tries to establish a bedtime routine, but even after "five stories, 17 kisses, one sleepy song, and two snuggly hubs," Cosmo's energy doesn't fade. He peppers Mommy with a slew of questions. "Do ants sleep through thunderstorms?" "Are there ghosts in my ears?" (His inquiries may spark readers to begin their own set of questions, starting with: Do frogs have ears?) Luckily, Cosmo's fatigue catches up to him, and he realizes that being tired during the day isn't worth the fun he has at night. Even in their weary moments, Birkett's amphibians fit right in on the aptly named Cheery Street; Mommy never wavers in supporting her froglet, and Cosmo tries ("with all of his froggy heart") to beat his internal bedtime battle. Bright, sunny colors give way to deep purples and blues, lulling little ones to sleep. A common nighttime challenge faced with love--and yawns.(Picture book. 3-6)
