Even with everyone in the kingdom lending a hand, the Prince will still not go to bed! Is there anyone who can help the Prince sleep?
The cook brings biscuits, the maid brings hot milk and the physician brings medicine, but the young Prince will not sleep. So the King and the Queen try an entire troupe of dancers, a mustached musician, a feather down quilt and even a cake! Still, the Prince will not close his eyes. Will the strange woman at the palace gate hold the key to the Prince s slumber?
Oscar-winner Jim Broadbent narrates this delightful tale!

Review:
" Before you even begin to read this story, the warm and expressive front cover will draw you in. This is a delightful modern fairy tale written by Joanne Oppenheim and illustrated by Miriam Latimer, that got the thumbs up at bedtime." --Kids Literati
"Latimer's quirky, energetic acrylic and collage art playfully tweaks perspective and scale as dancers determined to perform until the Prince nods off, tire themselves out instead. This spirited tale may not lull little ones to sleep, but it will surely put a smile on their faces." --Publishers Weekly
"The playful, colorful illustrations use acrylics and collage to bring this rollicking romp to life. Fanciful counting sheep are laced throughout the book and add to the whimsy and playfulness. This is a great read-a-loud and a wonderful argument for books!" --Library Media Connection
