Olie, a little boy who can't fall asleep one night, decides to go out exploring. He finds that while he is wide awake, everyone else is tired and wants to go home to bed. The mailman, the bus driver, the police officer, and even the road worker are all so tired that they can't stop yawning. Before long, Olie is tired too, and can't wait to get back home and get into bed.
A true bedtime story, Olie's Bedtime Walk is designed to have the same effect on chidren as it does on Olie--to make them fall asleep. With all the yawning, you'll be lucky if you can stay awake long enough to finish reading it to them!
