Bookroo's summary

Mr. Snore desperately seeks sleep at the bustling Sharemore Hotel, but each room presents a new obstacle. From noisy neighbors to damp conditions, his quest for rest is thwarted at every turn. With a helpful bellhop in tow, Mr. Snore's journey through the hotel's floors is filled with unexpected challenges. Will the elusive thirteenth floor finally offer the tranquility he craves, or will it hold yet another surprise? This whimsical tale promises laughter and a twist that will leave readers pondering the true nature of rest and relaxation.

From the publisher

The outcome is anything but predictable when an exhausted hotel guest sets out in search of sleep in this kid-pleasing romp full of visual humor. Will Mr. Snore ever get some shut-eye at the busy Sharemore Hotel? The room on the first floor is too noisy. The room on the second floor is too crowded. The room on the third floor is too damp. Everywhere Mr. Snore goes, with a dutiful bellhop leading the way, he encounters something that’s bound to keep him awake. Why is it so hard to find some peace and quiet? Perhaps Mr. Snore will have better luck on the thirteenth floor. . . . From author and playwright Wade Bradford and award-winning illustrator Kevin Hawkes comes a laugh-out-loud tale that plays with expectations and revelations — and reveals a surprisingly thought-provoking final twist.
