Little Owl does NOT want a babysitter … he’s not a baby and he certainly doesn’t want to be sat on! When Pinny the babysitter arrives, Little Owl wants a long bedtime story and a hot chocolate with forty marshmallows – and he mustn’t forget to say goodnight to ALL his toys, about a millionty billion of them!

Then, Little Owl sets Pinny a final, impossible task:

‘The moon,’ said Little Owl, ‘I need it by my bedside.’

With all the trademark humour that readers have come to know and love from this series, this reassuring and funny story is the ideal way to soothe anxiety about having a babysitter.
