Description
Meet the Snoreys - Mummy, Daddy, Mop, Snuggle, Snuffle and Pignut. This family of dormice love to sleep, all except the youngest, Pignut. Instead, he goes on an adventure around the forest and discovers the dormouse-written 'Secret Book of Sleep'. Reading it, Pignut finally drops off. Underlying this delightful tale is a secret weapon for exhausted parents - the story is written using simple neurolinguistic techniques, designed to have a soporific effect on the listener. Also includes an audio version of the tale.
Reviews / Votes
'Beautiful, soft, cosy illustrations sit alongside simple, repetitive, humorous text (and later on rhyme), which all combine to help lull children off to sleep as they hear about dormice drifting off... This book is a great additional key ingredient for a good bedtime routine!' * Eye * 'reading it at bedtime really could prove a great way to get your child to sleep.' * Baby Hamps/Surrey/London * "It's Snorey Time is a delightful picture book about a family of dormice... [but] there's more to the book than a cute tale. The story is full of soporific suggestions that soon have pre-schoolers dropping off." * Shropshire Review *More details
