Penguin & Tiny Shrimp are a “beguiling pair” (Booklist) who will have you know their book is NOT a bedtime story. Not even close. They spurn bedtime routines with gusto, jumping off their soft beds and into adventurous escapades across the Serengeti and into shark-infested waters. There’s even a UNI-HIPPO! Their imaginations run wild… and it just might wear them out.
A buoyantly subversive anti-bedtime tale.” — Publishers Weekly
“Ironic counterpoint abounds in this humorous picture book.
…A definite do for bedtime.” — Kirkus Reviews
For fans of Jory John’s Goodnight Already! and Mo Willem’s Don’t Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late!, Penguin & Tiny Shrimp Don't Do Bedtime! is full of exuberant pajama clad friends who will make bedtime fun again. Please be in touch with any questions or plans for coverage this Spring.
