**Goodnight Moon meets Go the F*ck to Sleep in this subversive and
very funny picture book about rebelling against bedtime from New
Yorker contributors Patricia Marx and Roz Chast.

This is the story of Nellie Bee Nightly, who is not tired at all. And
swears she will never be.
The popcorn is too pooped to pop, and the nightstand is too tired to
stand up straight and must lie down -- but Nellie? Nope, she's wide
awake. All Nellie's parents want is for her to go to bed, but instead,
she gives her goldfish a mustache and hangs her bed from the ceiling so
that she can install a swimming pool in her room; Nellie, after all,
went to sleep last night, and shouldn't that be enough sleep to last a
lifetime?
Wonderfully quirky, yet effortlessly classic, Tired Town is a lively
bedtime read that will appeal to both children and adults with its
cheeky tone and comics-style illustrations.
