This is a little bedtime book about a household that is woken up one by one because 'mama can't sleep'. Finally, they crawl into bed, all together, dog and teddy included and sleep blissfully.

I did find the mention of a ghost quite odd. Shown as a smiley-face, nevertheless, it seemed more than a little out-of-place, even though I grew up reading Casper comics.

Excerpt

Then Sam can’t sleep because the beds are creaking and feet are padding around, so he gets up.

Now everyone is up.

What are they going to do?
