PreS-1—Two beavers try to get some sleep in this cartoon-style picture book. Max is quite ready to hit the hay, but Milo is wide awake. When counting sheep doesn't work, he wakes his brother to ask for advice. Max suggests that Milo read a book, but the lamp is broken. The pattern repeats, with Max advising Milo on how to deal with one dilemma after another. Finally, Milo wears himself out but, predictably, now Max can't get back to sleep. The bright digital artwork is arranged in episodic panels, and the text consists of dialogue in word balloons. The kid-friendly pictures of cute critters will appeal to young children. No new ground is broken here, but this would be a pleasant addition to collections in need of simple bedtime books.—Martha Simpson, Stratford Library Association, CT
