"Mischievous mix-ups rule in this fun-loving tale of barnyard babies who stave off the bedtime hour for as long as possible. To the consternation of their surprised parents, the ducklings, piglets, lambs and chicks initially swap beds. ... Young readers won't want these characters to say good night and will surely use this book to forestall their own imminent bedtimes. Ages 2-6."
