"'Bedtime ' said the mother. 'No ' said the boy". Determined to stay awake all night, the boy zooms off in his little red car into a magical land filled with larger-than-life toys. But the toys are all too sleepy to play, and the toy musicians lull the boy's car to sleep with a dreamy lullaby. How will the boy get home now? Luckily, someone is still awake, and on her way to pick up the boy and tuck him into bed.
