Pip and Posy - The Bedtime Frog - Illustrated Axel Scheffler

Pip and Posy: The Bedtime Frog – A Sleepover Story!

From the much-loved creators Axel Scheffler and Camilla Reid, Pip and Posy: The Bedtime Frog is a tender, relatable story about the small emotional challenges young children face — and how kindness and understanding can make everything better. Published by Nosy Crow, this 32-page picture book is perfect for ages 3 to 5.

When Posy goes for a sleepover at Pip's house, everything is fun and games until bedtime… when she realises she forgot her favourite bedtime frog! Pip does everything he can to help, offering toy after toy — even his prized frog money box — but Posy just can’t settle. It takes a heartfelt gesture from Pip to help his friend feel safe and finally fall asleep.

Why schools and families love this book:

• Explores emotional regulation – children relate to Posy’s distress and learn ways to soothe.
• Models empathy and generosity – Pip’s actions offer a powerful example of friendship.
• Supports real-life transitions – great for preparing children for sleepovers or nights away from home.
