This interactive book may seem to be on your side, reluctant sleeper -- but it's truly a bedtime book in disguise!
Here's how it works: if you can avoid getting to the end of this book, you can avoid bedtime, simple as that. (It's a pretty sweet deal, actually.) But each time you blink, you have to turn a page. Those are just the rules. So whatever you do, DON'T BLINK!
***Mini Swoons Review***
*recovers from a fit of giggles* This book is SO FUNNY! I blinked a bunch of times, but that made it better. I love the squinting page and the part where it said “holy pillow puffs” the best. The owl is really cute and silly. Can we read this again tomorrow? I want to read it to brother because I think he’ll like it too!
