This humorous spin-off on the classic nursery rhyme might feature young dinosaurs as its main characters, but young humans will also be able to relate. Despite the need for some rest, many youngsters would prefer to stay up all night so that they could keep playing. But over the course of the book, it becomes clear that even the most determined little ones need some rest so that they can wake up refreshed the next day and do it all over again. Ideal for sharing at bedtime, this story, told in rhyming text, will surely make youngsters smile at the thought of all the fun they'll have tomorrow.

A cute run of the mill board board. Little baby dinosaurs have rules too. They get to play, but then they have to go to sleep.

I loved this toddler and up book about dinosaurs not wanting to but having to go to bed. Easily relatable and an easy read.
