Shut-Eye Time! YAWN! Grumpy Cat, A Grumpy Cat Bedtime Story by Steve Foxe

"GRUMPY CAT! IT'S ALMOST BEDTIME!

IT'S OUR LAST CHANCE TO PLAY TODAY!"

It's that odd couple of cats again--Little Kitten, who can't say anything without an exclamation point, and Grumpy Cat, who can't say anything without a grimace.

Little Kitten is ebullient, ardent, and keen on everything.

Grumpy Cat is curmudgeonly, contrarian, and recalcitrant about anything.

Little Kitten drags Grumpy Cat through the whole miserable bedtime routine--bathtub toys and floods of suds, perky look-alike pajamas, and especially the obligatory bedtime story.

"I READ A STORY ONCE. IT WAS AWFUL!" GROUCHES GRUMPY.

But Little Kitten's begging results in a grudging compromise from Grumpy Cat:

"LET'S SKIP TO THE BEST PART!

THEY ALL LIVED GRUMPILY EVER AFTER.

THE END!"

Grumpy Cat is back in his third storybook for youngsters, in Steve Foxe's Yawn! A Grumpy Cat Bedtime Story (Grumpy Cat) (Little Golden Book) (Golden Books, 2018 ). Grumpy's reaction to everything is a virtual YAWN, and bedtime with Grumpy Cat is predictably no sweet snooze in this latest little tale, illustrated appropriately in drab and dusky shades by Steph Laberis. Other books in the Grumpy cat series include A Is for Awful: A Grumpy Cat ABC Book (Grumpy Cat) (Little Golden Book), Grumpy Cat's First Worst Christmas (Grumpy Cat) (Big Golden Book) and The Little Grumpy Cat that Wouldn't (Grumpy Cat) (Little Golden Book).
