OLIVER WHO WOULD NOT SLEEP

Book ID/图书代码： 06400508B29239

English Summary/英文概要： Oliver Donnington Rimington Sneep couldn’t and didn’t and would not sleep. It’s not that he is afraid of the dark, or monsters, or robbers or sounds from the park. But Oliver Donnington Rimington Sneep likes staying awake more than going to sleep. Join Oliver on his journey to Mars and back before he finally, finally, finally goes to sleep. Superb bedtime tale, told in rhyme and great to read aloud, with stunning illustrations from award-winner Nick Maland.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： Oliver從來都不會乖乖聽話睡覺，因為他有好多事都還沒完成。他要畫畫、要變魔術、要開車、還要駕駛火箭飛上太空。但是，當Oliver站在廣闊無際的星球望著地球的家時，卻又想立刻回家去玩。等到Oliver穿過星空、越過高山和森林，終於回到溫暖的家時，他的玩偶同伴們早就不耐煩的窩在床上等他好久了。(VL)

She now works in London as a children’s fiction editor and lives in Tunbridge Wells with her family and their many pets.
Nick graduated in English and Drama from London University in 1981.
