Reviews

Refreshingly original, not to say subversive [. . . ] all hilariously picture by Fred Blunt in cartoon mode.

the 'Perfect' Bedtime story for young Kidz [. . . ] 19,000,014 stars out of 5!

—— Bex , KidzCooLit

Bedtime stories go bonkers in this inventive, subversive version of a traditionally restful night time tale. Funny illustrations accompany the witty text, packed with humour and adventure, to amuse children and parents alike.

—— N/A , Booktrust

Subversive, witty and gently challenging all sorts of assumptions about the way things "have" to be, This Is Not A Bedtime Story [. . .] is the real deal when it comes to everything I want from a great bedtime read with the kids.
