About This Book
Reach for this book when your toddler is still buzzing with energy but you need to transition them toward a restful sleep. It provides a playful, rhythmic bridge between high-action play and the quiet moments of the bedtime routine. By using the familiar cadence of a classic nursery rhyme, it helps ground a child in a predictable structure while acknowledging their natural desire to keep jumping and playing. The story follows five energetic bunnies (and Pete the Cat dressed as a bunny) as they bounce their way toward bedtime. While it is primarily a fun counting book, it subtly explores themes of patience and the gentle boundary-setting parents do every night. It is a perfect choice for children aged 2 to 4 who enjoy physical humor and repetitive rhymes that they can eventually recite along with you.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and lighthearted. The minor injuries sustained by falling off the bed are treated as comedic and temporary, with no lasting consequences or actual danger.
Ideal Reader
A high-energy 3-year-old who loves Pete the Cat and struggles with the transition from active play to the bedtime routine. It is great for kids who like to 'act out' stories physically.
