Each two-page spread features a poem about an animal's sleeping spot, a large illustration of the animal in its natural setting, and information about the animal's habits and habitat. The poems rely on cutesy words ("black and bluey / See right throughy") for a consistent structure and rhyme scheme. The prose encourages participation by asking questions about readers' own sleep habits.

Strong-willed Grady is the last to hatch from a clutch of twelve eggs. She repeatedly wanders off, ignoring Momma goose's reminders to "stick together," and is left behind when the family migrates south. Painterly landscapes capture the shades of the changing seasons, as Grady finds her way back to her family. An author's note gives more information about Canada geese.
