Shortest Bedtime Story Ever is
David Campbell latest release. A hilarious brand-new picture book dedicated and
inspired by his children, and I would dare say, to parenthood as well.
Our narrator commences by introducing us to a Prince
and a Princess, they meet, they fall in love and live happily ever after, THE
END.
But no, there is more because that’s just not enough,
is it? So, begins yet another tale about the Prince and Princess until story
satisfaction has been achieved. Or does it?
Shortest Bedtime Story Ever
is comedic gold for parents and kids alike.
Parents and caregivers to children can all relate: the
bedtime battle can be very real. It also subtly reminds us that storytelling
builds connection, it keeps us present which ultimately provides the space to
create the best of memories.
Illustrations by Samar Kabir bring the story to life
throughout with quirky fun imagery.
