Everybody Sleeps (But Not Fred)

A boy who will do anything to avoid bedtime finally “meets his match in this hilarious” illustrated children’s book “sure to leave readers in stitches” (Kirkus, starred review).   Every kind of bird and beast has to sleep, from the monkeys in the jungle to the whales in the ocean to the ants under the ground. But not Fred. His to-do list is far too long!         Armed with plenty of imagination, this determined little boy and his attempts to resist bedtime are sure to strike a chord with today's over-scheduled families. Drowsy animals of all stripes look on in disbelief as Fred keeps on going and going and going, until . . .        Could it be that, after so much activity, even Fred needs to rest? Shhh. Close the book softly, and please let Fred sleep
