About This Book
Reach for this book when the sun has gone down but your child's energy levels are still at their peak. It is a perfect choice for those evenings when bedtime has dissolved into a series of 'one more game' requests or when your little one seems determined to test the limits of your patience with playful defiance. The story follows a baby zebra and a baby hippo who find every possible excuse to keep the fun going instead of settling into sleep. While the title 'Naughty!' might sound stern, the book actually offers a gentle and humorous look at the boundary-testing behavior typical of toddlers and preschoolers. It validates the joy of play and the strength of early friendships while reinforcing the idea that parents establish rules out of love and necessity. It is an ideal read for children aged 2 to 5 who are beginning to navigate their own independence and the consequences of their choices.
