Tired Town

0/5 ( ratings)

Goodnight Moon meets Go the F*ck to Sleep in this subversive and very funny picture book about rebelling against bedtime from New Yorker contributors Patricia Marx and Roz Chast.

This is the story of Nellie Bee Nightly, who is not tired at all. And swears she will never be.

The popcorn is too pooped to pop, and the nightstand is too tired to stand up straight and must lie down — but Nellie? Nope, she's wide awake. All Nellie’s parents want is for her to go to bed, but instead, she gives her goldfish a mustache and hangs her bed from the ceiling so that she can install a swimming pool in her room; Nellie, after all, went to sleep last night, and shouldn’t that be enough sleep to last a lifetime?

Wonderfully quirky, yet effortlessly classic, Tired Town is a lively bedtime read that will appeal to both children and adults with its cheeky tone and comics-style illustrations.

Pages: 40

Format: Hardcover
