Our young hero’s been put to bed, but doesn’t want to go to sleep. In fact, he refuses flat out. And why should he, when there’s so much to do? As soon as his mother closes the door, he and his cat jump out of bed and start off on a night’s worth of adventures. They play basketball, make magic potions, give a backyard rock concert, and go fishing on a lazy stream. He doesn’t need to sleep – he’ll just rest for a moment in the boat while his cat catches a fish…
