Flubby will not go to sleep by JE Morris

Flubby acts part cat and part child, plus his human is trying their best to try and figure out what it is that this bundle of not sleepiness needs (a drink? A song? A blanket?) Cannonball Read

Have you met Flubby? I am not at all a cat person but I adore little Flubby. This is a book every toddler will relate to.  All those tactics to stall bedtime. Asking for a pillow, a blanket, a song, a snack.  Young readers who are just developing their reading confidence will be so proud when they discover they can read this whole book but as a bonus it is 32 pages of  sheer FUN!

A few deft pen strokes convey both cat’s and child’s emotions and the child’s increasing frustration. ... No flubs for this cat and kid. Just satisfying bedtime reading. Kirkus

I am always on the hunt for very simple books like this but they must contain terrific stories and that is a difficult combination. A new Flubby title will be released later this year - Flubby does not like snow. I also found the cover of Flubby does not like Valentine's Day but I cannot find any reference to the actual book. If you work in a school library I highly recommend (in fact I would like to insist) you purchase as many Flubby books as your budget allows. They are wonderful. Here is the web site for JE Morris. 

I would pair the Flubby series with this new Australian picture book:
