The Sleepy Little Alphabet

Reach for this book when the nightly 'stall tactics' have left both you and your preschooler feeling frayed. It is a perfect choice for those evenings when your child needs a gentle nudge toward sleep but isn't quite ready to stop playing. By personifying the letters of the alphabet as mischievous children, the story validates the common resistance to bedtime in a way that feels silly rather than scolding. The narrative follows twenty-six little letters through their evening routine: brushing teeth, hunting for lost teddy bears, and demanding one last glass of water. It masterfully balances the educational value of letter recognition with the emotional reality of the 'bedtime battle.' For parents, it offers a rhythmic, calming read-aloud experience that helps transition a high-energy child into a restful state through humor and shared recognition of those relatable end-of-day hurdles.
