Upsie Downsie, Are You Asleep?
The idea for this book came to me when I mused that my son Brian's dream come true would be to trick the adults into letting him stay up really late. The book is dedicated, "To Brian, the real Upsie Downsie."
The mischievous little piglet in blue pajamas, Upsie Downsie, is having fun with his toys, but when Mumsie calls, "Upsie Downsie, are you asleep?" he pretends that he just can't fall asleep . . . although he'd like to. So Mumsie brings home the neighbors one by one to help Upsie fall asleep. Instead, one by one, they begin snoring. Finally, after Upsie Downsie is told to listen to the sounds of the night, he drifts off . . . until Mumsie calls, "Upsie Downsie, are you asleep?" But don't worry, all ends well!
The illustrations are based on buildings and interiors in England, Scotland, and Wales from cozy cottages to a tiny castle with moat and I've filled them with animals dressed and acting like humans from Upsie's papa Popsie, who's bowling with the old boys, to Mayor Gumsie the goat, Miz Crumbsie the cat, and others.
