Reach for this book when your child is resisting the evening wind-down or when you want to shift the bedtime power struggle into a moment of playful empathy. By placing the child in the role of the caregiver, this story allows them to practice the patience they often receive from you. The book follows a young boy as he patiently guides his energetic new puppy through a calming bedtime routine. It uses cheerful, large pastel illustrations to model the steps of getting ready for sleep, from brushing teeth to find a favorite toy. This shift in perspective helps children aged 2 to 5 view bedtime routines not as a chore imposed by adults, but as a loving way to care for someone they love. It is an ideal choice for normalizing the transitions of the evening and building a sense of maturity and responsibility in toddlers and preschoolers.
