Mortimer by Robert Munsch; illustrated by Michael Martchenko

Little Mortimer has decided that he much rather sing at the top of his lungs than go to bed. He will not listen to his mother, father, seventeen brothers and sisters, or the police. When Mortimer be quiet? One of my favorite pictures in the book is the dad reading the paper in an armchair and wearing huge earmuffs, but the look on his face tells you that he can still hear Mortimer sings. A great story for bedtime.
