Bookroo's summary
Patrick's first sleepover at Granny's house becomes an unexpected adventure. With no bed or pillow, Granny's resourcefulness is put to the test. As she crafts a bed from trees and a pillow from feathers, what else might be missing? Will Patrick ever get to sleep, or will this night be filled with endless surprises? Discover the whimsical twists of a bedtime routine that might just last all night.
From the publisher
Patrick is having his first sleep-over at his grandmother’s house. It’s almost bedtime, but there’s a problem-Patrick doesn’t have a bed at Granny’s. So Granny goes out to her yard, chops down some trees, and makes a comfy bed for Patrick. Now he can go to sleep. Right? Not yet. He doesn’t have a pillow! So Granny dashes to the henhouse, collects some feathers, and sews a fluffy pillow for Patrick. Now he can go to sleep. Right? Not yet. A few other things are still missing . . . . If Patrick is lucky, this could go on all night! “Children will snuggle down with smiles on their faces after this comic spin on the paraphernalia associated with a common ritual.” (Kirkus Reviews)
