For anyone who has ever craved sleep and anyone too full of energy to settle down! a comedy from Bob Shea and Jarvis.
Its sleepy time for Lion and Penguin. Correction: it should be sleepy time for Lion and Penguin, but Lions eyes arent 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. Lets 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
