With the words "FLY BLANKY FLY!" a boy and his blanket begin a nighttime adventure: "Zoom, zoom...like a jet flying through the sky. / ZOOM BLANKY ZOOM," etc. The text isn't as exuberant as the art; the book's modest pleasure lies in seeing the blanket physically transformed into a jet, a rocket, and so on. Finally, it's "Sleep blanky sleep."
