Winnie & Wilbur: Winnie's Witchy Bedtime

LoveReading4Kids Says

Winnie's Witchy Bedtime, the latest Winnie and Wilbur picture book from the Valérie Thomas and Korky Paul dream team, ticks all the boxes for little ones who love characterful stories and digging into illustrative details.

It’s midnight chez Winnie and Wilbur’s magnificent castle, which means it’s bedtime for witches. But while Wilbur the big black cat has no trouble dropping off to sleep in his cosy basket, poor Winnie is struggling to do the same.

So, Winnie checks her Witchiphone for tips and tries the tactic of counting sheep and frogs, but to no avail. Reading doesn’t help either, and neither does drinking special sleepy tea. No matter what she does, Winnie just can’t get to sleep, until she remembers the magic of spells, and eventually manages to drop off just before Wilbur wakes up. Feeling very hungry, Wilbur is compelled to cast a spell in order to wake Winnie for breakfast.

Laced with gentle mischief, Winnie's Witchy Bedtime will resonate with toddlers who sometimes have a tough time getting to sleep, and with the grown-ups who’ll enjoy reading this aloud before bedtime.
