Everyone has to brush their teeth, wash their hair and go to bed sometime even dinosaurs!

From the author of Soon comes a raucous bedtime read aloud brimming with dinosaurs! Mum is trying to get her rather lively dino-obsessed child ready for bed, but this little boy won't go easy... he's got a dinosaur-themed comeback (and a ROARY action) for everything!

Dinosaurs don't have to eat all their dinner, wash their hair or brush their teeth... so why should he? And as bedtime beckons, the little boy gets more and more lost in his imaginative world... Will mum ever get him to close his eyes? With exuberant, hilarious dinosaur art from shining illustration talent, Nikki Dyson, this is the perfect story for children with wild imaginations (who refuse to go to sleep!).

  • Simple, rhythmical language and fun-to-say sound effects could make this book part of a bedtime ritual, with a child coming in on the refrain, 'Dinosaurs don't have bedtimes!' 
  • Showcases Nikki Dyson's stunning, high-energy art and incredible vision as she brings to life both a rambunctious dino world alongside cosy scenes of a boy and mum at home together. 
  • Encompasses two (seemingly incongruous!) picture book themes: dinosaurs and bedtime!
