In this delightful picture book, big brother Charlie faces the familiar challenge of getting his spirited younger sister, Lola, to bed. Lola, with her boundless imagination, insists she is not sleepy and conjures up a world of fantastical excuses, from tigers in the bedroom to whales in the bath, to delay the inevitable. Charlie, with remarkable patience and cleverness, gently plays along with her imaginative world, subtly transforming her objections into reasons for sleep. It's a charming exploration of sibling love, imaginative play, and the universal bedtime struggle, perfect for children aged 4-7 and their parents.
