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.
