It's the night before sleigh tryouts at the North Pole, and every reindeer is fast asleep-except one.

Amble sleepwalks... then starts *sleep-flying*.

A dreamy leap sends him snoring past fluffy clouds, the glowing moon, red-hot Mars, and straight into the twinkling stars. With one comical *toot*, he blasts into hyper-speed-lost in outer space!

Enter Otis, Amble's brave best friend.

When he discovers the empty bed, panic sets in. Armed with Santa's emergency sack, Otis rockets off on a daring rescue mission: find his pal, wake him up, and race home before dawn's big tryouts.

But nothing works.

Shaking him, flashlight beams, bacon smells, nose tickles, steak, cake, peppermint shakes-Amble snores on. Tears well up... until Otis makes a heroic promise: *"If I can't wake you, I'll carry you."*

Through dodging asteroids and fiery comets, Otis tugs, drags, and hauls his snoring buddy home-aching, exhausted, but unbreakable.

They crash-land just before sunrise. Otis collapses... and the alarm screams.

"I feel GREAT!" Amble cheers, waking and feeling refreshed.

Otis just smiles, sore and sleepy.

Because after all-that's what friends are for.

Perfect for ages 3-7, this giggle-filled, rhyming picture book delivers:
