Milo and his friends Henry, Harriet, and Hildy hate bedtime. It always interrupts their favorite games, their best playing. So they decide to escape from it. But nothing works! Until they develop....the secret plan.
The best words to describe the illustrations are warm and swashy (at least, that's the best I could come up with). There's lots of swirly colors, warm evening lights, and green and golden days outside.
Verdict: This isn't just a soothing bedtime story, it's a story about the magical days of childhood, when just five more minutes is never enough and the simplest things are exciting and wonderful.
