Its core themes are security, love, and the comfort found in companionship and routine.

What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is secular and focuses entirely on the positive, reassuring experience of a bedtime routine and the comfort of a transitional object.
Ideal Reader
An infant or toddler (ages 6 to 24 months) who is forming an attachment to a 'lovey' or transitional object. It's perfect for a child who finds comfort in routine and needs a quiet, predictable story to signal that it is time to wind down for sleep.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed. This book can be read cold. Its simplicity is its strength. A parent could enhance the experience by having their child's own teddy bear nearby to act out the scenes. The parent is trying to create a positive bedtime experience and reduce any mild separation anxiety. They may have just introduced a special stuffed animal and want to reinforce that bond, or they are simply looking for a short, calming book to end the day with.
