"I'm a cowboy and I round up cows. I can lasso anything. Dad says...
'It's time for the cowboy to come inside and get ready for bed.'"
Synopsis: Dad says it's time for bed but Little Critter isn't finished playing yet. It's a comical battle of wills as Little Critter goes from being a cowboy to a general, a space cadet, a sea monster, and even a zoo keeper to avoid getting ready for bed. In the end, Little Critter discovers even pretend bunny rabbits can fall sleep just about anywhere.'It's time for the cowboy to come inside and get ready for bed.'"
Why I liked it: I grew up on the magical worlds Mr. Mayer created with his Little Critter series. In JUST GO TO BED, adorable illustrations compliment the imaginative story line every kid (and parent) can identify with as variations of this same nightly bedtime ritual is repeated all over the world.
