About This Book

A parent would reach for this book when bedtime has become a battle of wills, filled with creative excuses and endless stalling. This book mirrors that nightly struggle with humor and affection, making it a perfect de-escalation tool. 'Nighty Night, Sleepy Sleeps' follows baby Sophie and her dog, Doug, as they team up for a series of elaborate, imaginative, and hilarious attempts to avoid going to bed. From demanding one more story to starting an impromptu jam session, their antics will feel deeply familiar. This book is less a guide on 'how to go to bed' and more a celebration of the creative energy that fuels bedtime resistance. It's a wonderful way to connect with your child, laugh about the routine, and acknowledge their desire for just a little more fun before the day ends.
