Readers of Bernard's Bath know what it's like to convince Bernard that it's bath time. Now it's time for Bernard's nap, and things are no easier. Mama tucks him into bed with his bear beside him. Grandma covers him with his blanket. But there is one problem--Bernard isn't sleepy! Mama sings Bernard a lullaby--and falls asleep herself. Papa tells Bernard a story--and falls asleep too. Grandma rocks in her rocking chair next to Bernard's bed--and rocks herself to sleep. No the whole family is napping . . . except Bernard!
