Synopsis:
A charming bedtime story about a child with very specific ideas on the appropriate time for sleeping, now available in a soft padded board book edition.
As the day comes to an end, bedtime draws near. But the little boy in this book is quite sure it is not time for sleeping.
As each piece of his evening routine is completed—helping with the dishes, playing with the dog, getting into pajamas, brushing teeth with Dad, being tucked in by Mom, and listening to a story—he becomes a little more certain: it is definitely not time for sleeping. The question is, when will it be time for sleeping?
A rhythmic, cumulative text and lush twilit scenes come together to create a perfect bedtime book that will be treasured for generations to come.
- Soothing Bedtime Read: The gentle, repetitive phrase "it is not time for sleeping" makes this a predictable and calming story that helps little ones wind down for the night.
- Celebrating Evening Routines: From washing dishes to brushing teeth and saying good night to the family dog, this book validates a child’s own familiar steps before bed.
- Toddler & Preschool Read-Aloud: With sturdy board book pages and a simple, engaging rhythm, this story is ideal for the littlest listeners who are mastering their own nightly schedule.
- Parent-Child Connection: Discover the one final, loving thing the little boy is waiting for from Mom and Dad before he can finally close his eyes.
