Archibald's mom, dad, and grandma are desperate... No matter what they try, the little one just won't stop playing and go to sleep. Will they manage to get him to sleep, or will they fall asleep first?

Archibald's mom reads him a story; later, his dad tells him another story, and then one more; afterward, his mom returns to give him one last cuddle, and his grandma explains in English that it's time for bed... Hours pass, and it's all useless. Archibald continues playing with his train, wide awake.

The family no longer knows what to do. Finally, in the wee hours of the morning, everyone falls asleep, exhausted and wherever they happen to be, while Archibald remains awake and takes it upon himself to tuck them in and put things away. At last, he happily lies down in his parents' empty bed.

A new story about the charming Archibald and his delightful family, characters that children already met in My Love, A Sister's Love, What Dad Told Me, and What I Really Like.

With plenty of humor, both in the text and the illustrations, and with an ingenious topsy-turvy ending, this book will make those rebellious insomniacs, the ones who fight sleep every night, sleep like a log, at a reasonable hour and in their own bed.
