I got this slim softcover at the local library's ongoing book sale. It's a charming wordless tale of a young child's attempts to delay bedtime, with detailed illustrations that convey the family's evening. The child creates a boat from melon rind and orange peel while Dad does the dishes; then it's bath time, so the boat and lots of other toys accompany the child into the tub, with Mom checking in on the chaos. Then it's bedtime, and we get the bedtime story, the want-a-glass-of-water, the I'm-scared scene, and more - and it's fun to see just who winds up falling asleep first...

I left this little book in the charming - and unexpected - Little Free Library, which consists of a repurposed old-style icebox. Hope the finder enjoys the book!
