Everyone's Awake

Colin Meloy's 'Everyone's Awake' is a wonderfully silly and cleverly rhymed picture book that turns the typical bedtime routine on its head. As the children try to settle down, the rest of the family is engaged in increasingly absurd activities, from roof repairs to ghost card games, all while the dog and cat wage playful 'wars.' This book is a fantastic read-aloud for ages 4-11, perfect for families who enjoy a good laugh and struggle with the nightly winding-down process. It normalizes the idea that sometimes everyone is just wide awake, making bedtime less of a battle and more of a shared, humorous experience.
