Bookroo's summary

A weary grown-up rushes through famous bedtime tales, cutting each one shorter and shorter in the hope that a wide-awake child will finally fall asleep. Geoffrey Kloske's speedy fairy-tale send-ups come with Barry Blitt's comic pictures.

From the publisher

Once upon a time there was a grown-up looking for a book with very short bedtime stories for a kid who wouldn't go to sleep. So the grown-up picked up this book and read this flap and took the book home and read it out loud and they both laughed and fell fast asleep fast. Just like you. The end.
