Told with sing-songy rhythm, this is the tale of a household that just can not fall asleep. Instead of bemoaning their awakeness, they each find things to do - often odd and whimsical things - and spend the night in their own worlds until morning comes and they can finally fall asleep. 

There were a few sentences that snagged against the rhythm and rhyme, but other than that this book was fun to read and will be a fun addition to any good-night routine.
