I am Not Sleepy and I Will Not Go to Bed
By Lauren Child (Candlewick Press)
Lively and humorous four-year-old Lola does not want to go to bed. She’d much rather stay up all night chattering. Her seven year-old brother Charlie, who has a much more quiet and patient demeanor, must convince his sister that it is getting late and it is time for bed.
Why You Should Own This Book: If bedtime is a battle of wills in your house, then this Charlie and Lola book is perfect. Charlie and Lola began as inspiration from a mesmerizing Danish girl (Lola’s Character) and an idle idea in Lauren Child’s notebook. Hailed as “funny, bright and entertaining,” by the Daily Mail and shortlisted for the Children’s British Book Award, this is sure this bedtime book will become an instant hit.
