Synopsis

Little Pig Figwort can't sleep, so he embarks on a nighttime adventure. He dives to the ocean's depths, but the mermaids are asleep. He zooms to the North Pole, only to be growled at by sleepy polar bears. Undeterred, he rockets to the moon, where he finds moon pigs ready to play all night. After games of Pig Pirates, Moon Jump, and Hide and Seek, Little Pig Figwort finally feels ready for a good night's sleep.
