This story involves Marvin being told to not wake the baby, his younger sibling. But, he pretends he goes on different adventures such as being on a pirate ship, being a wizard, being in a rodeo an more. There are dialogue bubbles representing Marvin's parents constantly reminding him to be quiet. ( )

Very simple book.

Marvin goes into his brother's room to play while he's sleeping. On each spread we see what Marvin is doing, and what Marvin is pretending - lion taming, rodeo riding, blasting off into space.

We also see Marvin's mother's pleas to "don't wake the baby", but we never see her, which bugs me. If you're worried your son will wake the baby, shouldn't you GO AND GET HIM rather than yell at him ineffectually from outside the room?

Naturally, though, the baby doesn't wake up until Marvin, too, has drifted off into sleep and his mother thinks it's too quiet.

This is in my giveaway pile. It's funny, but not THAT funny. ( )
