Mummy's fed up with chasing her children into the bath. She’s fed up with pestering them to take their pyjama bottoms off their heads. She’s fed up with scraping toothpaste off the ceiling.

Find out how they do it and follow them to bed – having lot of fun choosing things along the way!
Would you choose to have a bath in melted chocolate – or with a mermaid?
Would you choose pyjamas that glow in the dark – or ones that make you invisible?
Would you choose a bed made of jelly – or one that tips you out in the morning?
