Sky lives, plays and learns in a circus - she even dreams about performing! In this picture book, the excitement of the circus influences every aspect of Sky's life. But who's the star of the show?

The story explores the playful struggles of a little monster who resists bedtime due to their energetic tail and bouncy knees. Through whimsical illustrations and relatable themes, it captures the challenges of winding down for sleep and the imaginative thoughts that keep children awake. The narrative encourages creativity and playfulness, making bedtime a fun and engaging experience for young readers.

How can any little monster possibly go to bed when their tail isn't even tired? And when their knees still have plenty of bounce in them? And when their arms still want to fly like a jet plane? Bedtime is surely a long way off! Luckily, Big Monster has a strategy to outwit Little Monster, with the inevitable result!

On my way to bed, I play with a tiger, a lobster and a bear - and lots of other creatures too. But why are they so familiar? In this celebration of imaginative play, a young child is surrounded and enriched by an extended and diverse family. Inclusive and playful, this is the ideal bedtime read.
