Dinosaurs don't have bedtimes! - Timothy Knapman

Everyone has to brush their teeth, wash their hair and go to bed sometime - even dinosaurs!

From the author of Soon comes a raucous bedtime read-aloud - brimming with dinosaurs! Mum is trying to get her rather lively dino-obsessed child ready for bed, but this little boy won't go easy . he's got a dinosaur-themed comeback (and a ROARY action) for everything! Dinosaurs don't have to eat all their dinner, wash their hair or brush their teeth ... so why should he? And as bedtime beckons, the little boy gets more and more lost in his imaginative world. Will mum ever get him to close his eyes? With exuberant, hilarious dinosaur art from shining illustration talent, Nikki Dyson, this is the perfect story for children with wild imaginations (who refuse to go to sleep!).

I have written lots of picture book stories (including Mungo and the Picture Book Pirates, Dinosaurs in the Supermarket and Eleanor's Eyebrows) and a few books for older children (of which my favourite is My Uncle Foulpest: Dinosaur Disaster).
I write funny stories mostly, and, when I'm not writing for children, I write plays and I co-write musicals (with clever people who can write music because I can't).
I live in Surrey, which is very nice - but disappointingly empty of dragons.

Dyson's
lively illustrations of the dinosaurs in Mo's imaginary world are
everything you want them to be: bold, bright and boisterous. There is a
lot to talk about on every page and my son enjoyed pointing out the
funny things the dinosaurs were getting up to.[...] Full of personality and humour, they perfectly
convey the joy, mess and love of everyday family life.
