About this item

From the brilliant mind of writer, television star and comedian Shaun Micallef comes this hilariously familiar story about the bedtime struggle! ‘Happy slumbers,’ whispered Father​ as he left, but soon they started hearing other sounds – like creaks, a crack, a crunch, and then … a SHRIEK! Tucked up inside their tree-trunk house, two small snails are too scared to sleep – and their father is running out of patience! But is it just the wind spooking them … or is there something lurking outside? With gorgeous, silly-spooky illustrations from award-winning illustrator Jonathan Bentley, this Halloween picture book will surprise and delight the whole family. Perfect for pre-school-aged children aged 3+, their sleepless parents, and anyone who's ever had a pet snail.
