For anyone who has ever craved sleep - and anyone too full of energy to settle down! - a comedy from Bob Shea and Jarvis.It's sleepy time for Lion and Penguin. Correction: it should be sleepy time for Lion and Penguin, but Lion's eyes aren't tired, and his ears would like a story. Penguin, however, is tired and nods off into sweet dreams ... until a noise wakes him. "Oh, are you awake?" asks Lion sweetly, seated before a drum set. "Let's have that story, then!" And so it goes, with an ever-more-disgruntled Penguin trying to nod off while an exuberant Lion innocently practices his drumming, bounces on his squeaky trampoline, and munches on his crunchy crisps... Will Penguin need to resort to extreme measures to get his friend to sleep, or has the answer been there all along?
