Penguin & Tiny Shrimp Don’t Do Bedtime! (Hardcover) (Local Austin, TX Author)
This title will be released on May 8, 2018.
Penguin and Tiny Shrimp will charm, amuse, but never put you to sleep in this meta bedtime tale in the vein of Goodnight Already.
Cate Berry, local Austinite, has a debut picture book Penguin & Tiny Shrimp Don’t Do Bedtime! (Balzer + Bray | HarperCollins Publishers) that is on sale May 8, 2018! Berry’s hilarious book captures the essence of nighttime with little ones who do not go to bed and it’s sure to be a big hit for fans of Jory John’s Goodnight Already! and Mo Willem’s Don’t Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late! THIS book is full of CRASH BANG BOOM EXCITEMENT, DARING ADVENTURES, INCREDIBLE ESCAPADES and features illustrations by the amazing up-and-coming artist, Charles Santoso.
Penguin & Tiny Shrimp definitely do NOT have a bedtime story to share with you (kids are loving this whole meta thing, right?). There are no soft beds or cozy covers here. There are fireworks! And shark-infested waters!! Their imaginations just run wild but if we’re lucky, it just might wear them out! The exuberant personalities of our little pajama clad friends jump off the page and into our hearts in this engaging read that kids (and adults) will adore.
This book will never make you sleepy. Not at all. Not even a little. . …..
My girls and I look forward to many more books from our fantastic new local author, Cate Berry!
