Reach for this book when your child is still buzzing with energy at bedtime, despite the rest of the world winding down. It is a perfect choice for those nights when 'five more minutes' feels like a marathon and the transition from play to rest feels like an impossible hurdle. The story follows Albie, a spirited young warthog who tries to find a playmate among his savanna neighbors, only to find them all mid-routine. Through Albie’s journey, children see that bedtime isn't an end to fun, but a different, cozy kind of activity. It is developmentally ideal for toddlers and preschoolers (ages 3 to 5) who are testing their independence and struggling with the FOMO, or fear of missing out, that often accompanies the evening routine. This gentle narrative helps normalize the desire to keep playing while modeling a peaceful transition into sleep.
