Bookroo's summary

Chengdu, a young panda, can't sleep while everyone else snoozes peacefully. He tosses, turns, and even hangs upside down in his quest for rest. Will he find the perfect spot to finally drift off? Discover the playful solution in this charming bedtime tale.

From the publisher

High in his bamboo tree, a young panda named Chengdu lies awake while everyone around him is sleeping. No matter what he tries, he cannot fall asleep. He turns and he tosses. He scrunches and he rolls. He even hangs upside down. Finally he climbs up and up and up, until he finds the perfect spot atop his brother. Panda pile!
