under the tired sun, are settling
down - and so must you, my
horrible little one."

"This rhyming bedtime picture book is a witty, tender mix of the adorable and the appalling." - The Guardian. "Huw Aaron takes the traditional bedtime story and flips it on its head with this lovely rhyming tale that understands you're never too young for a bit of gentle irony.
