But when Nedra tries to tell the townspeople that she knows what has happened, no one believes her except her grandfather. Taking his advice, she decides to find the Night Thief and the stolen night.
Little Upsie Downsie is having trouble falling asleep (though he has no problem dancing and playing). His worried mother summons the neighbors one by one, and each arrives knowing they have “just the thing” to help the little one sleep. In turn, each one succeeds only in falling asleep, and it is only in the chorus of snores that Upsie Downsie finally dozes off. Hardcover.
