About this book

The best part of Petey's bedtime is hearing the story of what happened on the day he was born. He knows the story so well that one night he tells it to his weary parents. Speeding cars, a yellow fire engine, and a tiny pair of cowboy boots are just the beginning of Petey's bedtime adventure. Full-color illustrations.
