Bookroo's summary

Jason's nights are filled with strange noises as his dad sleepwalks to odd places, from the fridge top to the cold woods. Desperate for rest, Jason devises a clever plan to keep his dad in bed. Will his unusual solution finally bring peace to their nights, or lead to more unexpected adventures? Discover the whimsical journey of a boy determined to solve a peculiar problem.

From the publisher

Jason’s dad falls asleep everywhere … except in his own bed. All night long, Jason gets woken up by strange noises that lead him to find his dad in the most unexpected places–from on top of the refrigerator to the freezing cold woods outside his house. In order to finally get a good night’s sleep, Jason musters up all of his resources and comes up with a most unexpected solution–tying his dad’s toe to the bathroom doorknob to keep him in place. Now available as a simplified, toddler-friendly board book with revised art by Michael Martchenko, this story will delight young children discovering it for the first time.
