"This bedtime tale, with its nod to Sleeping Beauty, is a treat to hear and a pleasure to look at." - School Library Journal
Even royal princesses have to go to sleep at night. But what if a little princess simply cannot sleep? Luckily, everyone in the palace and throughout the kingdom is willing to help her. They try everything they can think of to help the princess fall asleep: singing lullabies, reading bedtime stories, counting sheep. But nothing works. How, oh how, will the princess ever get the sleep she needs?
A splendid story about the difficulties of going to sleep on a royal scale. Sure to charm young and old alike, this book has actually been created by young and old - included within the illustrations by the author are drawings by her young daughters, Louise. The magical result: a remarkable bedtime book for children ages 4 and up.
