Just when William is ready to fall asleep in his cozy cabin, there is a tap on his window. A chilly chipmunk asks to stay, and Will scooches over in bed. The chipmunk is just the first in a parade of mammals, each bigger than the last, until the bed is full. Kids will enjoy counting along as the animals keep scooching over to fit in William's bed. Full color.
