Reach for this book when the evening energy is high and you need a sensory anchor to help your toddler transition from the busyness of the day to the stillness of sleep. It serves as a rhythmic bridge for children who find it difficult to settle their bodies, offering a tactile experience that grounds them in the present moment. Through gentle rhymes and peek-a-boo flaps, the story follows various animal families as they prepare for rest. The physical interaction of lifting flaps combined with the soothing cadence of the text makes it an ideal tool for co-regulation. It is perfectly scaled for little hands and short attention spans, reinforcing the security of the parent-child bond through the universal language of a hug.
