Goodnight Tiptoe
by Polly Dunbar
'I'm not sleepy' says Tiptoe while Tilly gives him his goodnight kiss. Boom! Boom! Boom! goes Tiptoe's drum while Tilly sings him a goodnight lullaby. Will a bedtime story do the trick and send Tiptoe off to sleep? Ah, yes… Now Tilly must get ready for bed herself. If only there was someone to tuck her in…
One of the delightful books in the Tilly and Friends series written and illustrated by the hugely talented Polly Dunbar, this charming book will help children to better understand their own bedtime routine.
The illustrations are humorous and beautifully drawn while the text is ideal as a calming read-aloud story for the end of the day. The twist at the end is an absolute delight!
