outer space bedtime race
"The Mercury kids land rocket ships,
then hurry to their nightly dips.
They glide along on rocky paths
to steamy crater bubble baths.
Inside sleep chambers, warm and snug,
they squeeze together in a hug.
Click-CLICK go all the chamber lids.
It's bedtime for the Mercury kids. "
Here’s one for your little space cadets. Alien kiddos race around the solar system race to get to bed first in the great Outer Space Bedtime Race. Words by Rob Sanders and pictures by Brian Won.

Sad but excited by the promise of adventure, he sets out into the big, wide world in search for a new place to live. Nothing feels like home until he finds "a place that looked full of light and hope." Can anyone guess where he ends up?
