The fourth title in Daisy Hirst's popular and playful Natalie and Alphonse series featuring two adorable monster siblings.

Natalie and Alphonse are staying the night at Granny’s house – and putting on their own play! There will be red curtains, lights, and even yoghurt with sprinkles in the interval. But when Natalie tells Alphonse he can’t have a ticket and be in the show, well, Alphonse wants to go home! Granny knows just what to do... After a cosy night's sleep and a breakfast of pancakes, Natalie and Alphonse are excited to welcome Mum and Dad to their very special and marvellous theatrical performance!

From the award-winning Daisy Hirst comes a reassuring and hugely enjoyable story about a very first sleepover with Granny, and wonderfully creative and imaginative play between adorable and funny monster siblings.
