Who Sleeps, Cat the Cat?

Reach for this book when the bedtime routine feels like a battle of wills and you need a lighthearted way to signal that the day is done. For toddlers who aren't quite ready to stop playing, Cat the Cat provides a cheerful model for saying goodbye to friends and transitioning into rest. It turns the 'goodnight' requirement into a social game rather than a chore. In this brief and rhythmic story, Cat the Cat checks in on all her animal friends to see who is ready for sleep. While most are tucking in, one friend is still wide awake. This contrast helps children understand the concept of winding down. Mo Willems uses his signature humor and bold illustrations to create a comforting, predictable environment that validates a child's desire to keep the party going while gently leading them toward the pillow.
