Bedtime? Not for Kit! With gadgets blazing, Grandpa and the gang turn into secret agents on a hilarious mission to get her to sleep.

A riotously funny, action-packed bedtime caper.

It's bedtime in the bear house — but is Kit sleepy? No, she is not. Not one tiny bit!

Grandpa springs into action, turning the grown-ups into a team of secret agents armed with a Bubble-Blowing Submarine, Supersonic Launcher, and Super Star Light Projector. Their objective? Get Kit to bed! Will she ever settle down — or is it Mission-Impossible?

A riotous, action-packed bedtime caper from award-winning author Tracey Corderoy and super-stylish illustrator Alex Patrick. Kids will burst with laughter at Kit's antics while parents will nod in recognition at the all-too-relatable bedtime chaos.

For fans of Sleep Tight, Disgusting Blob! by Huw Aaron, There's a Bear in Your Book by Tom Fletcher, and Peace at Last by Jill Murphy. This book is a perfect pick for families on their very own Mission: Bedtime.
