Little Owl does NOT want a babysitter … he’s not a baby and he certainly doesn’t want to be sat on! When Pinny the babysitter arrives, Little Owl wants a long bedtime story and a hot chocolate with forty marshmallows – and he mustn’t forget to say goodnight to ALL his toys, about a millionty billion of them!
Then, Little Owl sets Pinny a final, impossible task:

With all the trademark humour that readers have come to know and love from this series, this reassuring and funny story is the ideal way to soothe anxiety about having a babysitter.
