Max's Bedtime

Reach for this book when your toddler is experiencing the universal struggle of the missing lovie or the refusal to sleep without one specific, non-negotiable object. It is a gentle, relatable mirror for children who feel a deep attachment to their comfort items and for parents who have spent many late nights searching under the bed for a lost toy. The story follows little bunny Max as he prepares for bed, only to find his favorite red rubber elephant is missing. Despite his older sister Ruby's well intentioned efforts to substitute the elephant with her own toys, Max simply cannot settle until his own special treasure is found. This board book is a classic for the 0 to 3 age group because it validates the intensity of a child's attachment while providing a humorous, low stakes resolution. It is perfect for winding down after a long day, normalizing bedtime anxieties, and celebrating the simple joy of being reunited with a favorite friend.
