Another glorious book from the team who gave us Leo the Late Bloomer. Milton's efforts to entertain himself when the whole world sleeps, and goes on sleeping and... sleeping, gains an immediate response of sympathetic understanding from anyone sharing the book. Congratulations must go to Hippo for resisting the temptation to produce the book in a small format - it is perfect just as it is; to have done so would have seriously diminished its impact and appeal.
