Michael Rosen’s Totally True (and totally silly) Bedtime Stories

Illustrated by Emily Fox

Friend and supporter of Newham Bookshop and Britain’s national treasure Michael Rosen delivers a silly, mind-fizzing collection of heartwarming true tales perfect for bedtime. For kids aged 6 to 106, these totally true (and very silly) stories are the perfect bedtime reading, either to share together or for newly confident readers to read alone. Giggle at the story of dogs who learnt to drive (yes, really), elephants who sway to classical guitar music, a fish who is best friends with a diver and the boy who found a huge giant shark tooth.

Marvel at these silly, good news stories – there’s something to delight and inspire everyone before bedtime. From the bestselling author of Chocolate Cake and We’re Going On A Bear Hunt, this beautifully illustrated bedtime collection of five-minute true stories is perfect for kids aged 6 and older.
