About the book
Timothy would like to go to sleep at bedtime but everything keeps talking and the noise keeps him awake. The basin talked to the pitcher, while the Statue of the Infant told everyone of Timothy's secrets. The mop and the curtains had something to say and the General in the picture frame kept shouting commands. Then one night the roof began leaking right over his bed, and Timothy had to move to the box room until it could be fixed. He was worried! The first night, after Timothy had been tucked in bed, he was awakened by a little mouse who shared a wonderful surprise.
