What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is entirely secular and free of any sensitive topics. Its theme is universal and presented in a straightforward, comforting manner.
Ideal Reader
A toddler (1-3 years old) who is part of a family establishing a bedtime routine. It is also a perfect book for a child aged 2-4 who is expecting or has a new sibling, as it gently and humorously illustrates the constant sleeping that is part of a baby's life.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed. This book can be read cold. The concept is simple, and the rhyming text is self-explanatory and easy to fall into. It's an effortless read for a tired parent. The parent is feeling overwhelmed or amused by their infant's ability to sleep in odd places and wants a book to share and normalize that experience. Alternatively, a parent is trying to explain to an older, more active child why the new baby is always sleeping and seems less 'fun' at the moment.
