About This Book
Reach for this book when your toddler is in a high-energy loop at bedtime and needs a physical, sensory anchor to help them wind down. It is designed for those moments when 'one more game' or 'one more snack' threatens to derail the evening routine. This interactive experience follows three energetic kittens who, much like your own child, would rather jump and play than sleep. Through gentle verse and a calming sequence of activities, the story models the transition from chaos to quiet. By following Mama Cat's lead as she brushes, feeds, and sings to her kittens, children see their own bedtime hygiene and rituals mirrored in a playful way. This book serves as a tactile bridge between the stimulation of the day and the stillness of the night, making it an essential tool for establishing a peaceful sleep hygiene habit for children aged 0 to 3.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is entirely secular and focuses on the universal experience of a caregiver soothing young children.
Ideal Reader
A toddler who experiences 'bedtime resistance' and thrives on tactile engagement. It is perfect for children who have difficulty transitioning from active play to stationary listening.
Parent Prep
This is a finger-puppet book. Parents should test the puppet inserts beforehand to ensure they can move the kittens comfortably while reading. It can be read cold, but the rhythm works best if the parent leans into the 'sleepy' tone toward the end. A parent who has just heard 'I'm not tired!' or witnessed a 'zoomie' session right after bath time will find this book a welcome intervention.
