Bookroo's summary

In the whimsical Rolie Polie world, Olie faces a bedtime dilemma. Pappy has bonked his head and can't unfrown, leaving Olie without his cherished bedtime story. With time ticking away, Olie must use his super silly ray to bring back Pappy's smile. Will Olie's antics succeed, or will bedtime arrive without a story? This delightful tale celebrates the bond between grandparents and grandchildren, wrapped in a playful adventure.

From the publisher

Olie must find a way to turn Pappy’s frown upside down—all before bedtime—in this classic picture book-turned-beloved-TV-show from the brilliant mind that brought you The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore. It’s bedtime in the Rolie Polie world, but where oh where is Pappy? He’s fallen down and bonked his head and can’t unfrown! Olie can’t go to sleep without a bedtime story from Pappy, but can Olie cheer him up in time? Olie’s super silly ray should do the trick! A most unusual bedtime book and a lovely ode to the importance of grandparents.
