Put the fun back into bedtime with Rex and his dinosaur friends!
NOT SLEEPY is a funny, interactive dinosaur bedtime book for little ones aged 2 to 4. With a rhyming story, playful surprises and a reassuring message, it helps children explore the familiar steps of getting ready for bed.
Rex is a curious little dinosaur who would much rather keep playing than go to sleep. As he visits his four older friends, he discovers how they wind down: brushing their teeth, enjoying a splash in the bath, finding their own pee-pee tree and snuggling up with a good book. When Big T, Rex’s grandpa and hero, arrives, it’s finally time to carry a tired little dinosaur to his cosy bed. After all, everyone needs sleep to get ready for another day of play!
Packed with flaps to lift, an “opening eye” pop-up and a big pop-up ending, this engaging board book gives little hands plenty to explore. Rhyme, repetition and playful dialogue invite children to join in, while Rex’s experiences gently encourage a positive bedtime routine, growing confidence and independence for readers.
Whether your toddler needs a little encouragement to wind down or simply loves a dinosaur story, NOT SLEEPY makes bedtime easier to talk about and more enjoyable to share.
Illustrated by Paula Bowles, it’s part of the Dinosaur Guides series from Mama Makes Books, created to help families explore everyday toddler challenges with warmth and humour. Discover Big Like You for healthy eating and trying new foods, The Hatchlings for becoming an older sibling, and Sneezes and Wheezes for feeling poorly and caring for others.
