The story of Randall, a boy who decides he is now a big boy. Although he declares he no longer needs toys or vegetables, alone at night, he has difficulty falling asleep. When he goes downstairs to get his stuffed animal, he finds a thief. He chases him into the night, through a park, through a chocolate factory, through a museum, and a carnival. When the thief hops on a hot air balloon, so does Randall, until the hot air balloon gets popped by a building. Randall lands safely on the building, even saving the thief's life. The mayor was so proud, she gave him a key to the city. By the time he got home, Randall was so tired he fell asleep in his bed with his stuffed animal immediately. A very cute story with a cute ending about not rushing to grow up! ( )

Cute, but not really my cup of tea. Randall, a very young boy, suddenly declares that he is no longer a little boy. This means he no longer sleeps with is stuffed pig. After difficulty trying to sleep, he goes downstairs and finds a robber stealing his pig (and only his pig). He chases the robber all over the city yelling "Stop Thief" all the way to a hot air balloon. the balloon runs into a building and randall ends up saving the theif, getting a key to the city, and falls asleep with his stuffed pig. I thought it was going to be a dream, but it was apparently real. The images in the story were nicely done and quite entertaining. ( )

I see a strong Dav Pilkey influence. ( )

Nice story, full of adventure. ( )

The pictures were the main part of this book and i think young readers would enjoy this book very much.
