Synopsis

Patrick is excited for his first sleepover at Granny's house. As bedtime approaches, he realises he doesn't have a bed. 'What!' cries Granny, and she promptly chops down a tree to build one. But the night is just beginning—Patrick also needs a pillow, a blanket, and a teddy bear. Each time, Granny springs into action, crafting each item from scratch. Will Patrick ever get to sleep, or will Granny's resourcefulness keep them up all night?
