The house is darkened and Dad comes home at the end of the week. Everybody is asleep, except for the youngest baby of the house. So Dad picks him up and takes him on a journey through the sleeping house, looking in on the cat, brother and Mum ...until Dad himself is so tired that he collapses with baby on the sofa downstairs ...to be woken up, still there the next morning by the rest of the family! This is a supremely gentle and tender story. It is perfect for parents everywhere.
