The little girl has finished playing with her 'large family' of toys and taken them to bed with her. She is sleepy but they aren't and each one wants to take her on an adventure before they go to sleep. Every adventure is inventive and fun, from the bottom of the pond with the frog, to the doll's dance party, and all are described with satisfyingly rich vocabulary which will stretch a small child's imagination. The story is told in large, clear print with bold and busy illustrations.
