It was good.
This book is adorable and made me laugh out loud. It's great for little kids who will quickly learn to play the part of Pookie and say "no" at the appropriate times.

This is our current favorite nighttime book with two-year-old Jacob. He has the whole thing memorized and LOVES it when I let him answer the questions to Pookie: "Are you sick?" "No." "Do you need a cold drink?" "No thank you." "Are there five lazy frogs in your bed for a snooze?" "That's silly too!" It rhymes and has a terrific ending. I like most of Sandra Boynton's books, but this has to be my favorite.
It has a nice idea... that is doing some "moves" that would be fun for a child to copy, but I found the rhyme to be pretty lame- something I would have come up with ;) The pictures are kinda cute, but nothing particularly special or noteworthy.
