Too Busy Marco by Roz Chast

4.0

Here's a book that breaks the rules - a bedtime book that is gentle and also funny! It is bedtime for Marco the red parrot, but how can he go to bed when he has so many brilliant ideas?! He needs to invent underwater paint so that he can become the world's greatest fish painter! And Invisibility Gum! He has a great idea about how to become rich and famous and he should start working on that right now! Bowling! Banjo! Trampoline! (You know, I've always suspected that this is what it sounds like in my sons' brains when they are overtired. "Scooter! Cape! Dance-off!") Eventually, he succumbs to bedtime and finds that he has all the time in the world to meet skateboarding space monkeys... in his dreams. Awww.
