Bookroo's summary

Fred's imagination fuels his refusal to sleep, despite every creature around him dozing off. As animals watch in disbelief, Fred's endless to-do list keeps him awake. Can he resist the call of slumber forever, or will exhaustion finally catch up? Dive into Fred's world and discover if even the most determined can escape the need for rest.

From the publisher

Every kind of bird and beast has to sleep, from the monkeys in the jungle to the whales in the ocean to the ants under the ground. But not Fred. His to-do list is far too long! Armed with plenty of imagination, this determined little boy and his attempts to resist bedtime are sure to strike a chord with today’s over scheduled families. Drowsy animals of all stripes look on in disbelief as Fred keeps on going and going and going, until . . . Could it be that, after so much activity, even Fred needs to rest? Shhh. Close the book softly, and please let Fred sleep.
