product description

Description

From the brilliant mind of writer, television star and comedian Shaun Micallef comes this hilariously familiar story about the bedtime struggle!

'Happy slumbers, ' whispered Father

as he left, but soon they started

hearing other sounds - like creaks,

a crack, a crunch, and then ... a SHRIEK!

Tucked up inside their tree-trunk house, two small snails are too scared to sleep - and their father is running out of patience! But is it just the wind spooking them ... or is there something lurking outside? With gorgeous, silly-spooky illustrations from award-winning illustrator Jonathan Bentley, this Halloween picture book will surprise and delight the whole family.

Perfect for pre-school-aged children aged 3+, their sleepless parents, and anyone who's ever had a pet snail.

About the Author
Shaun Micallef is a comedian, writer, actor, producer, author and former child. He is usually found on TV in Australian shows such as Thank God You're Here, Talkin' 'Bout Your Generation and Mad as Hell. He has authored several books for adults, including Tripping Over Myself, Smithereens, Preincarnate and The President's Desk. A satirical mash-up of fairytales titled Tales from a Tall Forest was his first book for children, followed by Happily Ever Afterwards.

When illustrator Jonathan Bentley was eight years old, he realised he wouldn't be good enough to play football for Leeds United - so he concentrated on drawing instead. He is now one of Australia's most treasured illustrators, whose recent work includes Tales from a Tall Forest. His award-winning picture books - including A House of Her Own, Pink and Where is Bear? - have been published all over the world.
