About Penguin and Tiny Shrimp Don’t Do Bedtime!

• Hardcover: 32 pages
• Publisher: Balzer + Bray/HarperCollins (May 8, 2018)

Penguin and Tiny Shrimp DO NOT have a bedtime story to share with you.

There are no soft beds or cozy covers here. There are fireworks! And shark-infested waters!!

This book will never make you sleepy. Not at all. Not even a little. . .

Praise

“Debut Berry revs up her romp… the digital art from Santoso (Peanut Butter & Aliens) energizes Berry’s tactically understated text, often wryly turning it on its head. A buoyantly subversive
anti-bedtime tale.” —Publisher’s Weekly Featured Review

“The story is a smartly comedic entry in the genre of the anti-bedtime story, and the exclamatory dialogue-only text adds energy and humor. This will be a joyous bedtime read.” —Bulletin for the Center for Children’s Books

“A definite do for bedtime.” —Kirkus Reviews

“A beguiling pair…much yawning will ensue…and that’s a good thing.” —Booklist

—A Junior Library Guild Selection, Spring ‘18
