Sleep Tight, Charlie

This early chapter book follows a young boy, Charlie, who cannot fall asleep. Instead of succumbing to frustration, he embarks on a series of creative and comical experiments to find the right way to slumber. He tries hanging upside down like a bat, standing up like a horse, and curling up in the bathtub like a frog. His patient (but clearly tired) parents gently guide him back to bed each time. Ultimately, Charlie figures out his own unique method for getting comfortable, showcasing resourcefulness and imagination. The book’s short chapters make it an accessible and rewarding read for children transitioning to independent reading.
