Another jolly story of suburban family life, this time featuring two boys camping out overnight in the garden. It starts well with some nicely observed touches: an over-enthusiastic dad, a teasing sister, mixed feelings about the enterprise from the boys. But the second half, an extended 'joke' (based on the old string-on-the-big-toe-alarm stories) seems over-contrived and lacking a base in reality. Some good pictures of night time, though.
