STOP Sucking Your Thumb!

Chelsie Buckley Illustrated by Javier Sempere

A sleepy thumb needs a new bedtime spot—because Mum says no more thumb-sucking!

Where’s the best place to put your thumb when it’s tired? In your mouth, of course! But when Mum says, “STOP sucking your thumb!” you’ll have to find a new sleepy-time spot—fast. A sock, maybe? An armpit? The dog? STOP Sucking Your Thumb! is a laugh-out-loud tale of one child’s bedtime mission to find the perfect place for his thumb to sleep… or is that its mission? Packed with bold, expressive illustrations that bring every funny and messy moment to life.

The perfect story for parents and children working through thumb-sucking habits—with plenty of humour to help along the way.
Playful rhyme and repetition that supports early language development.
Dynamic illustrations that vividly capture every hilarious moment of this bedtime quest.
