A little girl makes up all kinds of excuses not to go to bed. But what if they’re not excuses…? A sweet bedtime story with a twist at the end!

When a little girl goes to bed, she finds a rather big problem – there’s a cow in her bed! When her father goes to her room, the cow has gone and her father tells her to go to sleep. Later on that night, the cow comes back, together with a card-playing duck and a counting elephant! Is the little girl just stalling? Either way, it looks like no one is getting much sleep tonight!

También disponible en español. (Also available in Spanish.)

Told through dialogue, the narrative is a little one-note, though very entertaining, and the expressive illustrations bounce it happily along. Martín’s scribbly illustrations are reminiscent of Greg Pizzoli’s style. 

Bovines and bedtime combine for delightful silliness. – Kirkus



As the cow returns to cause further challenges to sleeping, the girl's approach to problem-solving involves her father in a vivid test of imagination and possibilities. – Midwest Book Review



The cover is a good indication of the illustration style; pictures are bold and goofy, and the animals look just about as surprised as the father and the little girl about having company. Children who make up excuses to avoid putting their head on the pillow will giggle as the girl makes up more and more reasons why SHE can't go to bed. – YA Books
