Beloved author Rowboat Watkins's vivid comic-style take on a universal dilemma-bedtime!

New from the beeping brain of Rowboat Watkins, award-wining author of much-loved children's picture books including Rude Cakes , Mabel: A Mermaid Fable , and Big Bunny . This comic-style adventure follows the Go-Go Guys from beep-beep- bed to the Moon and beep-beep- back again.

So . . . what do Go-Go Guys do best? Well . . . GO-GO-GO! They never rest. Because their brains go: BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

They simply will not go to sleep. Will the Go-Go Guys ever STOP? Kids and parents who know how hard it is to wind down for bed will enjoy every moment of this zany rhyming read-aloud that will elicit endless giggles!

GOODNIGHT ALREADY: Parents and kids alike will recognize the perennial and universal dilemma that comes with bedtime, or any time kids need to be quiet and still.

COMIC-STYLE ART: Comic-strip panels, inventive illustrations, and fun dialogue bubbles make this cosmic adventure perfect for both picture book audiences and emerging readers, keeping them engaged and wanting more.

GREAT READ-ALOUD: Rowboat Watkins's uniquely funny children's books make for read-aloud and read-along fun, for both family and classroom reading time.

“Its simple, repetitive, and playful nature will entertain prereaders in addition to serving those beginning to read on their own. This wild read certainly won’t soothe little ones to sleep, but they’ll have a blast go-go-going with these irrepressible tots.”

Booklist, Starred Review

 

 “Watkins has delivered a dose of playful chaos that will most certainly connect with young readers who also ‘aren’t wired for sleep.’”

Horn Book Magazine 

 

“With so much visual energy and off-kilter beauty on offer, readers may find their hearts beating faster—every spread exudes a no-grown-ups-in-sight sense of mischief and a magnificent feeling of energetic certitude.

Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

 

“Vacillating between goofiness and splendor, the wordless visual gags just add to the fun… Fans of insomnia? Rejoice! Sleepy parents? Beware.”

Kirkus Reviews 

 

“A zany sense of humor permeates this book, giving the cast wonderful energy and spirit. The panel format offers a comic-book vibe that will appeal to young readers. The rhyming text, sound effects, and delightful illustrations make this a shoe-in for a high-octane story hour.”
