Milo can't sleep and keeps Max up to give him ideas to solve his problem.
As expected, the end result is that Max goes out like a light and Milo struggles to fall back to sleep.
Humorous illustrations will engage young readers.

Loved the bold colors in this story of two little brothers who are supposed to be sleeping, but one can't and keeps the other awake.

Max and Milo are very different, despite being brothers. While Max drifts off to sleep, Milo is wide-awake. He seeks out his brother's help and tries to find ways to sleep, unsuccessfully. Finally, Max is wide-awake too and scolds his brother, who finally goes to sleep, leaving Max wide-awake. Full of humor and amusingly creative solutions to Milo's problem this book is perfect for sharing at bedtime or storytime. Recommended.

Milo can't sleep and calls on his older brother Max for help. Each suggestion Max makes, Milo turns it into something hilarious! This graphic novel format for preschoolers will leave children in stitches with Milo's antics and laugh themselves to sleep! Reviewer 17

Max and Milo are brother beavers and when Milo can't get to sleep brother Max seems to have all the right answers.

Funny, this book begs to be read aloud! Vibrant, digital illustrations give the book a cartoon/comic book feel.

Heather Long and her husband Ethan Long have teamed to create the essential bedtime book; one brother driving the other crazy. The fact that the two are opposite in other parts of their personalities other than at bedtime increases the fun.

Poor Max. It's not easy sharing a room with your energetic always-busy brother, especially at bedtime. The Longs have done a great job pairing Ethan's cartoon art with a story "inspired by real family events" that cracks up my son every time.

Fun story, a graphic novel feel to the layout and pictures which include only dialogue.

A quick story with a slew of insomnia solutions for poor, energetic Milo. I can't wait for the next one in this series!

I could relate to the older brother in this story. I HATE to be kept awake!

Ethan Long is fabulous!

[BookCupid · Rating 5 out of 5]

Funny and cute brotherly story about how sleeping in the same room isn't always fun.

[Katie Dicesare · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great story of two brothers trying to fall asleep. Authors use speech bubbles similar to Mo Willems texts. Funny and great for beginning readers.

[Sharon · Rating 3 out of 5]

Funny story about one bedroom, two brothers and two different different bedtime routines.

[Mary · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is an entertaining and realistic story of two siblings and how they drive each other crazy. The images are colorful and the story is very funny! Short and sweet and good for a variety of ages.

Ethan Long's wife's delightful debut drama.

This was so me and my sister. I love the silliness of Milo and think kids will, too.

Squirrels! He a squirrel. He read a book.

[Amanda · Rating 4 out of 5]

Loved this! Would be so fun to do as a duo-read.

[Romelle · Rating 3 out of 5]

Reading this all-dialogue book was like watching a 2-minute cartoon skit about a beaver who can't go to sleep and bothers his brother who is trying to go to sleep. A common story line.
