Age: Preschool-Kindergarten

Bird is grouchy and doesn't want to sleep--he wants to party! As Bird goes to each of his friends, they offer some ways to fall asleep: cuddling with a blankey or stuffy, reading a book, sing a lullaby, and count some sheep (one sheep, in fact). Of course, Bird wants none of that until he storms off to "walk forever" and cries out in frustration. His friends come to his aid and use their bedtime tricks to get Bird to fall asleep. True to the Grumpy Bird storyline, this is a wise addition to the series.
