Betty is a happy little girl who watches the sun go down making night with stars that don't shine as bright as day. She decides to fall asleep but is unable to sleep, so she fashions a pajama party to which she invites the toys, clothes, books, bed, pillow, blanket, furniture and shadows as her guests to celebrate a nights sleep.  She helps her doll writing the invitations to all the guests - including one to Night's Sleep!The party s a success and all who are invited some, but they tire and fall asleep and Betty thanks the departing Night's Sleep for the celebration and goes off to sleep very happy.This little story is especially fine for youngsters who fear the night and need a light one.  Reading this book to them will assuage those fears as nighttime can be a time to celebrate sleep.
