I received my copy of Nighty Night, Sleepy Sleeps by Brian Anderson the other day. I ordered it months ago when I heard it was going to be produced. Brian Anderson is the creator, writer and artist of the web comic Dog Eat Doug. This book is full of colorful paintings of Doug and Sophie as they crash about the house avoiding going to sleep at night. The story is light but cute and the images are wonderful.
