The Lion Does Not Sleep Tonight!
Penguin is very sleepy, but Lion wants him to tell a story. Every time Penguin starts to drift off, Lion does something to wake him—right when Penguin has started having a wonderful dream. They are filled with lots of colors, a unicorn, candy, and a train. Lion begs him to tell all about it.
Penguin insists Lion sleep, too, and they can both dream together, but that won’t do. 
Lion keeps making lots of noise to disturb Penguin’s sleep, hoping for a story about the dreams.
As a sleepy Penguin, and a wide-awake Lion each try to get their way, a surprising thing happens.
Little ones will laugh at Lion’s antics while trying to keep Penguin awake, and love the dream descriptions, along with dreamy illustrations, that bring them to life. This story can be read anytime, but would make a nice bed time story to help small ones settle down for the night. 
Children three to six years-old will enjoy this five-star board book.
