About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when the evening transition feels like a hurdle and they need a way to transform 'time for bed' into a moment of playful connection. Instead of a rigid routine, this book uses the familiar rhythm of peekaboo to help toddlers process the steps of winding down, from putting away toys to finding their favorite teddy bear. It turns the act of covering up and uncovering into a reassuring metaphor for presence and safety. Through tactile flaps and vibrant photography of real babies, the book fosters curiosity and joy. It is developmentally perfect for infants and toddlers aged 0 to 3, as it practices object permanence: the understanding that even when things (or parents) are out of sight, they still exist. This makes it an ideal choice for children experiencing mild separation anxiety at night, providing a gentle bridge between active play and restful sleep.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is entirely secular and focuses on universal bedtime routines.
Ideal Reader
A toddler who is resisting the end of playtime. This child loves physical interaction and needs to feel that bedtime is a game they can participate in, rather than something happening to them. It is also excellent for babies developing motor skills through flap-lifting.
