Quick Summary
Little machines with big personalities refuse to sleep, and it is absolutely hilarious watching one determined boy try everything to power them down. Kids will giggle at the playful reversal of the classic bedtime battle, cheering for the robots as they stubbornly resist the little boy's increasingly creative attempts to get them to rest. If your kid loves the silly conflict in "The Day the Crayons Quit" or the mischievous humor of "The Book With No Pictures," these rebellious robots will become instant favorites.
