From the award-winning author-illustrator Daisy Hirst comes a reassuring and entertaining story about a sleepover at Granny’s house in this fourth picture book starring monster siblings Natalie and Alphonse.

Natalie and Alphonse are staying the night at Granny’s house—and putting on their own play! There will be red curtains, lights, and even yogurt with sprinkles during the intermission. But when Natalie tells Alphonse he can’t have a ticket and be in the show, Alphonse wants to go home. How can the show go on without one of its stars? Luckily, Granny knows just how to turn things around, and after a cozy night’s sleep and a breakfast of pancakes, Natalie and Alphonse are excited to welcome Mom and Dad to their theatrical performance!
Hirst’s trademark bold, screen-printed illustrations accentuate this child-friendly tale. . . allowing the siblings’ personalities—and disagreements—to hilariously shine through. . . .A creative ode to imaginative play with familiar characters.
—Kirkus Reviews

Told with warmth and a sort of knowing humor, this well-crafted tale will appeal to readers who’ve enjoyed Hirst’s previous books, and newcomers as well.
—School Library Journal
