The Midnight Babies

Wide-Awake Baby leads the other Midnight Babies on a campaign against sleep, but one by one, they succumb to the lure of Slumberland, Nightlights, the Sea of Stories or the Garden of Lullabies until only Wide-Awake Baby is left.

In this fantastical bedtime adventure, babies from far and wide join forces to defy their ultimate nighttime nemesis: sleep!

Description

The babies have come from far and wide, crawling and walking and toddling and tumbling.
These are the can’t-sleep babies, the won’t-sleep babies, the itchy-feet babies, the just-one-more-story-please babies.
“Sleep! Sleep! Anywhere but Sleep!!!” sing the babies.
And the quest of the Midnight Babies begins!
