The Quickest Bedtime Story Ever! by Louise Fitzgerald & Kate Hindley

Picture Book Award 2024 shortlister:

From bestselling, award-winning artist, Kate Hindley, who won the Sainsbury’s Children’s Book Award and Oscar’s Book Prize in 2021:

The speediest bedtime story you will ever read – it’s only ten words long!

Ingenious, inventive, and interactive, this laugh-out-loud picture book is guaranteed to be a
favourite.

Welcome to the quickest bedtime story ever! But wait! There are some VERY important things you must do first. Have you plumped up the pillows? And colour-co-ordinated the teddy bears? Getting ready for a story is a very important business, I’ll have you know . .
