Reach for this book when you are at your wits' end with the 'just one more story' bedtime loop and everyone needs a good laugh to break the tension.

By condensing epics like Goldilocks or Jack and the Beanstalk into three-sentence summaries, the book playfully acknowledges the reality of parental fatigue while celebrating the bond between a tired storyteller and a persistent listener. Appropriate for children aged 4 to 8, this book transforms a moment of potential frustration into a shared joke. It explores themes of family love and creative problem solving through humor. Parents will appreciate the nod to their own exhaustion, while children will delight in seeing familiar stories turned upside down in the name of sleep.
