Tough Chicks Go to Bed written by Cece Meng and illustrated by Melissa Suber , reviewed by Terry Wahrman

Summary: Mama Hen tries to get her 3 chicks to go to bed. As children do, they come up with excuses why they can’t sleep. They have the wiggles and giggles and are ready for adventure. They walk through the farm yard noticing how all the other young animals are sleeping. They go through the nighttime rituals of counting sheep, back rubbing and snuggling like pigs to fall asleep, but Molly still has the zoomies. As she zooms through the farm, she wakes everyone. After the zoomies, Molly settles down to sleep, but the others are all wide awake. The wind whispers a lullaby and everyone falls to sleep. 

Straight Talk for Librarians: The book not only incorporates current children' s thoughts and actions, it is an activity book. Asking them to count or perform actions. There are laughable moments that every mother can attribute to feeling.
