I Am Not Sleepy and I Will Not Go To Bed
Written and Illustrated by Lauren Child
Publisher: Orchard Books
ISBN: 978-1-84616-9038
Summary/Back cover:
Charlie has this little sister Lola. Sometimes he has to try and get her to go to bed. This is a hard job because Lola likes to stay up late. Lola says, ”I am not slightly sleepy at 6 or 7 or 8. I am still wide awake at 9 and not at all tired at 10, 11 and 12 and I will probably still be perky at even 13 o’clock in the morning.” Lola says she never gets tired.
Review:
This is a humorous and imaginative story about a child who tries all kinds of tricks to get out of going to bed and how her older brother deals with it. It would appeal to children aged 3+ as it is a more complex story. The illustrations are colourful and modern. It is just a funny story so not one I would use to discuss sleep issues with a child, but I don’t think the author has intended it for that anyway.
3.5/5
