What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is entirely focused on a gentle, secular game of peekaboo with nighttime themes.
Ideal Reader
A child between 6 months and 2.5 years old who is enjoying cause and effect play and object permanence games. It is especially suited for a toddler who struggles to transition from active play to quiet time before bed, as it provides a focused, tactile activity that helps calm a busy body and mind.
Parent Prep
No preparation needed. The sliders are intuitive and sturdy. The book can be read cold and enjoyed immediately. Parents might want to model how to use the sliders gently the first few times. The parent is trying to establish a consistent, peaceful bedtime routine. Their toddler is resistant to simply lying down and needs a short, engaging, but not overstimulating, activity to signal that it is time to get sleepy. The parent might be looking for books that are more interactive than a simple story.
