The children of Mrs Moo's class are wide awake despite it being bedtime. Each child faces a different challenge: too much sugar, fear of the dark, being hooked on a game, a scary bedtime story, and a crocodile with too many teeth to clean. Repeated calls of now go to sleep from the grown-ups fall on deaf ears until Shirley Sheep, the head of sleep, arrives to help. This amusing story captures the lively bedtime struggle on Sparrow Street.

The kids from Mrs Moo’s class are running wild—it's bedtime, but none of them can sleep. One’s had too much sugar, another is afraid of the dark, one can’t put his game down, one read a far-too-scary bedtime story and another—a crocodile—actually just has too many teeth to clean!

In each house on Sparrow Street, the grown-ups are repeating, "now go to sleep," but nothing is working. Shirley Sheep (head of sleep) comes to the rescue in this brilliant follow-up to Now Wash Your Hands!
