Penguin and Tiny Shrimp will charm, amuse, but never put you to sleep in this meta bedtime tale in the vein of Goodnight Already.

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. . .

“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 of the Center for Children’s Books

Kids never want to go to bed!

Reviewed in Italy 🇮🇹 on February 19, 2020

E' un libro in lingua inglese quindi scrivo sia in italiano sia in inglese. I enjoyed this fun book. I'm not tired, I've heard that before, the beautiful illustrations complement the text. Un bel libro divertente per i più piccoli che non vogliono andare a dormire.

Definitely Do Buy Penguin & Tiny Shrimp!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 3, 2018

Verified Purchase

Special thanks to Cate Berry for sending an ARC of Penguin & Tiny Shrimp Don't Do Bedtime in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

On the very first page, pajama clad Penguin announces "This is not a bedtime book" with night cap wearing Tiny Shrimp chiming in saying "We don't do bedtime!" The adorable characters make it clear that there is no room for typical bedtime rituals such as toothbrushing, big beds or counting sheep. On the contrary, readers will be enticed to stay wide awake with fireworks, vine swinging, hot air balloon rides, songs, jokes and even the rare appearance of a Uni-Hippo! After Penguin and Tiny Shrimp engage in all their adventures, they maintain their anti-sleep position stating "This book will never make you yawn" but their actions begin to contradict their original declaration. It is not long before the two characters are crawling into bed and sleep soundly. Clearly, storytelling is tiring work!
 
Penguin & Tiny Shrimp Don't Do Bedtime is a hilarious and highly entertaining picture book from debut author Cate Berry. Not only did I pre-order this book immediately, I now have the perfect recommendation for a bedtime read aloud (sorry Penguin and Tiny Shrimp!) that parents will take great pleasure in reading again and again to their children. Santoso's pictures adorably depict Penguin and Tiny Shrimp's insistence and excitement in staying awake yet by the end of the book, his illustrations subtly and sweetly transition to show their fading energy. Even the background color of the pages becomes gray to signify the change.

Adorable!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 5, 2019

Verified Purchase

This book is so fun to read out loud -- and my kids ask for this book at bedtime because Penguin and Tiny Shrimp understand that they don't like bedtime - which, let's face it - is pretty darn cute. There's also a joke in this book that your kids are going to love to tell. Overall, it's a quick and funny read before bed. Will not disappoint!

Chris

Hilarious bedtime story

For so few words, this book packs a ton of humor into each page. The prose is witty and the illustrations are very cute. Highly recommend this book for a fun bedtime read.

Can this adorable duo stay up all night?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 1, 2018

Verified Purchase

Can this adorable duo stay up all night? Penguin and his pal, Tiny Shrimp reject all things bedtime. There will be no brushing of teeth. There will be no big, soft beds. There will be no cozy covers or super-squishy pillows. There will be no bedtime. Instead, there will be fireworks and globe trotting, sailing through shark infested waters and a uni-hippo! This book couldn't be more fun!
