'It's midnight: bedtime for witches. Wilbur is soon snoring, but Winnie just can't get to sleep! She decides to try some sleepy spells to help her nod off, and soon there are frogs leaping around her bedroom and a rather pongy potion brewing. Nothing seems to work-until Winnie remembers her Big Book of Spells. Can she find the right spell before Wilbur wakes up for breakfast? A funny and resonant story all about Winnie's bedtime mishaps. Korky Paul's intricate and spellbinding artwork is full of fun, mischief, and mayhem! The best-selling Winnie and Wilbur series has been delighting readers both young and old since 1987 and Winnie and Wilbur have become favourite characters in homes and schools all over the world. Why not try another Winnie and Wilbur picture book-there are 25 to choose from!' (Publication summary)

Winnie and Wilbur are desperate to finally win it this year having lost out to Maryam and her cat Malak the last two years. But when the referee is about to read out the results, a gust of wind blows them away! Will the witches ever find out who won - or could they discover that perhaps it doesn't matter who won when you're having this much fun?' (Publication summary)
