Book Description

Publication Date: 4 Sep 1997

"Bedtime!" said the Mother.

"NO!" said the Baby.

The Baby wants to stay up all night, so he revs up his car and sets off on an adventure. Before long, he finds himself all alone in a sleepy land. But there is someone else who's not asleep... someone who loves the Baby very much.

A magical book whose soft yet sparkling artwork perfectly captures the twilight world of a small child, determined not to go to sleep.

Product Description

Review

"The text reads aloud with effortless rhythms, occassinal rhymings, in a delicious dignity of tome. This is a perfect bedtime picture book and a memorable extended metaphor for loving and being loved" (The School Librarian )

"An imaginative, stylish and dream-like bedtime story" (The Bookseller )

"Text and pictures are inventively surreal, funny and loving, with a perfectly judged almost-scary climax and a snuggly conclusion that doesn't quite banish Baby's magical world. A meaty book, with touches of brilliance, that enters an infant mind without a hint of condescension" (Books for Keeps )

"A read dream of a book . . . A beautiful storybook that every young sleepyhead is sure to love" (Mother & Baby )

"Goes to the heart of true infant experience, with elements that all small children will recognise and enjoy" (The Irish Times )

Book Description

A magical book whose dreamy artwork perfectly captures the twilight world of a small child, determined not to go to sleep.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous 12 April 2009

By Nicole

Format:Paperback

After borrowing this from the library, my 3 year old son would search high and low for it every time we subsequently visited, so I finally bought him his own copy. He adores this book - the illustrations are beautiful (he particularly loves the train), and, as other reviewers have commented, the story lends itself very well to snuggly bedtime reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect bedtime book 9 April 2009

By Annie

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

This has to be the most perfect bedtime story ever written for very little ones. The illustrations are gorgeous, the text is wonderfully calming and it's like a big, warm, sleepy cuddle. Helen Cooper at her best!

5.0 out of 5 stars We love Helen Cooper 5 Feb 2009

By K. McConnochie

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

Certainly not as good as Tatty Ratty but that is my favourite book to read to my girls. Still this is Helen Cooper and she is great we love her in our house, great illustrations and a lovely little story certainly one for the collection.
