Cornelius the pig has his own ritual when he prepares for bed. He feeds the fish,
uses the bathroom, brushes his teeth, puts on his pajamas and chooses a book—but
something is missing. He is not really ready for bed until he gets a hug from Mom.
The brightly colored pictures help make this an entertaining bedtime story. This
book makes bedtime - fun time, and it begs for repeat readings.
