Two boys snuggle up in bed and hear about how alien children across their solar system go to bed. Rhyming poetry make this a fun and fast read-aloud with delightful illustrations of various aliens throughout our solar system.

Semantics, but the uncertainty is present. It's not entirely clear why it's called a bedtime race--are the aliens racing against each other to go to sleep first? In the end, we see the Earth boys barreling through space on their bed but I'm not entirely sure how they got there. Have they been racing around the solar system this whole time?
