"Bedtime!" said the Mother.
"NO!" said the Baby.

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

The Baby Who Wouldn't Go To Bed Reviews

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 *
