It is time for Lion and Penguin to sleep, but Lion wants a story. Penguin tells him no story and that it is time for sleep. While Penguin is trying to sleep, he wakes up to Lion on the drums, crunching chips, and jumping on the trampoline. What will Penguin need to do to get Lion to sleep? 

Anyone who has tried to put a non-sleepy child to sleep will chuckle while reading this story. Children will enjoy the antics of the non-sleepy lion and the colorful fanciful illustrations of penguins rudely interrupted dreams.
