About GOOD NIGHT, ESCARGOT:
In this perfect bedtime read, a cute French snail hosts a pajama party in this laugh-out-loud fifth picture book in the bestselling Escargot series.
Escargot is hosting a pajama party and everyone is invited! There is only one rule: Don't fall asleep! As the night goes on and Escargot grows tired, he struggles to stay awake. Luckily, he has lots of ideas to keep his eyes from closing. Looking at the stars with his trusty stuffed bunny, building a blanket fort, and telling scary stories all help. But will the call of Escargot's comfy bed win out in the end?
From New York Times–bestselling author Dashka Slater and former Pixar animator Sydney Hanson, "Good Night, Escargot" is an irresistibly sweet and charming story about sleepover fun and winding down from the day. This hilarious and interactive addition to the award-winning Escargot series is an ideal bedtime (or anytime!) read-aloud for little ones and animal lovers.
