No one really believes that the old trick of counting sheep will send hyperactive kids off to dreamland. For the half hour before falling asleep – famously the most beautiful and exciting time for everyone involved – Nadia Budde has come up with something: "If you can't sleep at night and counting sheep isn't working for you anymore – then try a different animal!" There are so many amusing things to experience in your pajamas with just a little stubborn bit of energy left: cheating with bumblebees, playing the flute with toads, racing with rabbits, whispering with shells, flying with goats... Of course, after all this, it comes to what must happen: the little hero in the book is exhausted and just wants one thing – to sleep!.
