Forget National Book Week. This is the book of the year! After a long day, sometimes you just need your child to go to sleep. This funny, tongue in cheek book and hilarious book pokes fun at that. Whatever you do, make sure you don’t actually read this out loud to you child.

It’s realistic, sarcastic and will become a parent’s best friend. It talks about everyday family situations and has excuses of why they can’t sleep, such as ‘mummy I’m thirsty’ or ‘there’s a monster in my cupboard’! We’ve all heard them, and this book helps to soothe an excited child to sleep, as well as humour the annoyed parent.

Written by Adam Mansbach who writes from personal experience of a sleep disturbed toddler, his honest nature and funny colourful illustrations drawn by Ricardo Cortes instantly puts the reader at ease as they sift through the different ways to get their little monkey to sleep.
