I Am Not Sleepy and I Will Not Go to Bed

Praise

Child’s collages juxtapose photographs of flannel pajamas, bubble gum-pink toothpaste tube and bath bubbles with childlike drawings framed in exotic wallpaper patterns. These images emanate as much energy as does Lola herself, with text in an array of sizes and typefaces. Once again, Child tackles a common childhood conundrum with boundless imagination and zip.
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Whether they spot themselves in Charlie or Lola, young ones will enjoy this exuberant, hilarious spin on a bedtime story.

Colors shock…Details delight…Charlie’s and Lola’s expressive body language and facial features will be easily recognized by all. An inventive, entertaining bedtime tale.
