From Kirkus Reviews:

The twin offspring of Mr. and Mrs. Badd don't exactly live up to their name, but they do have quite an adventure when-- instead of napping--they bounce and rock their bed out the door. Their trip downtown includes stops at the bakery (where Mrs. Tasty Pastry ``gave them cookies with frosting on top/From the Tasty Pastry Bakery Shoppe/And a chocolate ‚clair to share''), the ``super brand-new Bijou show'' (popcorn), a hamburger joint (``And an order of fries to share''), and the ``Noah Badd Read-A- Book Nook,'' where Dad ``gave them each a nap-time book.'' Then it's home for a kiss each and ``a nice big blanket to share.'' As the wheeled bed careens along, the gleeful cartoon-style illustrations burst with energy; the plot is an adequate vehicle for the catchy, rhythmic text, lilting like Mother Goose with internal rhymes and repetitions. Adults may find the bug-eyed babies off-putting, but young listeners will be entranced with their junk-food goodies and taste of freedom.
