Forty Winks is a rollicking bedtime read-aloud picture book about a family of mice, from New York Times bestselling author Kelly DiPucchio and award-winning illustrator Lita Judge.

“It’s time for bed!” the Wink parents said.
Their routine was the same every night.
Mama and Papa lined up their big brood,
all thirty-eight children in sight . . .

When the sun sets on this mouse family’s house, it’s the start of a bedtime routine for the ages! Come along as all 38 Wink children have snacks and baths, brush their teeth, read stories, and finally, finally settle down to sleep.

This rollicking, rhyming story from the award-winning pair Kelly DiPucchio and Lita Judge is the perfect read-aloud for parents and their wiggly little ones to share before bedtime.

“The book’s plentiful pleasure comes from being in the presence of a wonderfully rendered family that lives and loves large.” —Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)

“With the soothing rhythm of an old-time nursery rhyme, alliteration, and end and internal rhymes, this makes for a fun read-aloud . . . A fun twist of a familiar phrase and a delightful new bedtime tale.” —Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)
