Shhh! I’m Sleeping
Everyone is sound asleep, but when Popov starts snoring, the others wake up. Nono wants a story, Zaza wants to switch beds, Kipp wants a drink of water…Will anyone sleep tonight?
French illustrator Dorothée de Monfreid is back with a fresh, comical take on sharing a bedroom and trying to sleep, in an unusual tall boardbook format.

Eight dogs in a pair of quadruple-level bunk beds make for a raucous bedtime shuffle in this clever, delightfully illustrated oversize comics-style board book.
Publishers Weekly, starred review –
The dogs’ prickly personalities, de Monfried’s enthusiastic cartooning, and an innately goofy premise deliver laughs with every page turn.
Kirkus Reviews –
While minimal speech bubbles help convey some action, much of the plot is to be discovered in the funny, detail-rich illustrations, which children will enjoy poring over again and again.
