Once Upon a Time, the End (Asleep in 60 Seconds)
Nominee:Virginia Readers Choice Award -Primary (2008)
Winner:NAPPA Gold Awards -Ages 6 & Up (2005)
Once upon a time
there was a grown-up
looking for a book
with very short bedtime stories
for a kid who wouldn't go to sleep.
So the grown-up picked up this book
and read this flap
and took the book home
and read it out loud
and they both laughed
and fell fast asleep
fast.
Just like you.
The end.
