Oh No, It's Story Time is a vibrant and beautifully illustrated book that puts a fresh and funny spin on one of the challenges parents face when raising young ones: telling a good bedtime story. This book is the first in a series that transports parents and children into original and imaginative places and experiences centered on relatable family life. Oh No, It's Story Time puts an übercool, adventurous twist on bedtime antics in which an exhausted dad takes his restless children on an out-of-this-world experience in an effort to get them to go to bed. Hopefully, exploring the solar system will be just what the kids need to lull themselves into dreamland. Get ready for a book the whole family will learn from, find entertaining, and absolutely love.
