Mr. and Mrs. Wink and their 38 children give readers an up-close look at their industrial sized bedtime routine. With everyone's help, the young mice are bathed, clothed, and read to before being tucked into bed. The rhyming text is clever and includes a rhythmic role call of all the mice children. It's a hilarious scene with 38 moving parts! The watercolor and pencil illustrations build a world of fantasy that lets readers imagine a mouse house with enough beds for everyone. Pure fun!
