Bookroo's summary

Jack is wide awake, disturbed by a thunderous snore shaking the house. With his trusty dog, he embarks on a nighttime quest to uncover the source. Is it Mama Gwyn, Baby Sue, or even the farm animals? As each suspect is ruled out, the mystery deepens. Follow Jack's adventure as he tracks down the unexpected snorer in this whimsical tale of nighttime sleuthing.

From the publisher

All the Huffles are fast asleep, except for Jack. “He heard a noise that rocked the floor. He heard a noise that shook the door. Jack heard . . . a snore!” Just who is making this racket? Unable to sleep, Jack and his dog go searching. It must be Mama Gwyn, whose huffs and puffs set her curlers spinning, but when Jack wakes her . . . the snore roars on! And so it goes with Baby Sue, the twins, Papa Ben, even the farm animals. At last the Huffles follow their ears toward a surprising culprit.
