About This Book
Reach for this book when you have reached the end of your own rope after multiple bedtime curtain calls. It is the perfect choice for parents of toddlers or preschoolers who seem to find a second wind exactly when the lights go out. While Farmer Brown and the familiar barnyard crew are exhausted, the new baby duckling is wide awake and ready to PEEP. This story humorously explores the communal effort and saint-like patience required to soothe a restless little one. Through rhythmic repetition and the familiar 'Click, Clack' cadence, it normalizes the frustration of a long night while celebrating the teamwork of a family (or barnyard) coming together. It is a gentle, funny reminder for both parent and child that everyone gets tired, and eventually, even the buzziest baby will find their way to sleep.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. This is a secular, lighthearted look at a common developmental milestone: the struggle for sleep.
Ideal Reader
A preschooler who is currently resisting bedtime or a child who has recently welcomed a new, noisy baby sibling into the home. It is also excellent for children who enjoy repetitive sounds and 'predictable' text patterns.
