From the publisher

Here’s the perfect bedtime story parents can read to children who have trouble falling asleep at night. It’s the newest rhyming adventure of Suzy Sue, who is “–ready for bed, just like you! She brushed her teeth. She picked up her Ted . . . She clambered and climbed into her bed.” But Suzy Sue can’t fall asleep, because she simply can’t get comfortable in her bed. She soon discovers why. A cow and a horse and a sheep and a goat are all crowding in and trying to share space with her. Children will laugh at this comical fantasy–and many kids will identify with the little girl who can’t fall asleep at bedtime. Big, funny, full-color illustrations complement the story on every page
