Staff Pick
Not much brings me more joy than picture books about grumpy animals who just want other animals to be quiet and leave them alone. Pair that with the hilarious illustrations in Sleep Tight, Charlie, and I'm guaranteed to love it. As a self-certified expert in the field of grouchy-creature literature, I declare this an important addition to the genre. Recommended By Emily F., Powells.com

Synopsis
It''s been a busy day, and Charlie, like any tired rabbit, is ready for bed. He arranges his slippers and glass of water, finds his teddy bear, and checks to make sure there are no monsters under the bed. But just as he drifts off to sleep, TAP TAP TAP, a loud noise outside the window, wakes him up. It''s not just the tapping of Bird that keeps him up, Squirrel starts cracking nuts, then Mouse begins playing on the swings. Will Charlie ever get some rest? This playful and beautifully illustrated picture book is funny and entertaining. Charlie''s humorous expressions, inspired by slapstick comedians like Charlie Chaplin, will make you laugh out loud at every turn.
