From New York Times bestselling and award-winning author-illustrator Mark Teague comes a funny bedtime picture book that is “storytelling hog heaven” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) about a pig who can’t go to sleep no matter how hard he tries!

Pig knows it’s time for a nap, but he just can’t fall asleep! He tries to catch that elusive shut-eye in a series of hilarious hijinks but can’t escape interruptions and distractions. Then, a rowdy friend arrives who also seems to be in need of sleep, and Pig has a flash of inspiration… Can his latest idea finally send them both to dreamland?

You Are Not Sleepy! follows a young pig during nap time who is not sleepy. One silly scenario follows another as the pig is not sleepy until finally, after reading a long story to Cat, they both fall asleep. Young readers will enjoy the expressive illustrations and relatable feeling of not being sleepy. This book would be great for practicing the reading comprehension skills of recalling details and the sequence of events. This book is perfect for fans of If You Give a Mouse A Cookie series by Laura Numeroff. I can see this book becoming a household favorite with many re-readings in the future.
