Reach for this book when your little one views the bedtime routine as a chore to be avoided or a battle of wills. It is perfect for children who are obsessed with superheroes and need a constructive way to channel that high energy into a structured evening wind-down. By framing ordinary tasks as heroic duties, the book helps bridge the gap between active play and restful sleep. The story follows a young boy and Batman through parallel nightly activities: as Batman patrols the city and cleans up the streets, the boy puts away his toys and cleans up his room. It uses the prestige of a favorite hero to validate necessary self-care habits like brushing teeth and putting on pajamas. For parents, it offers a common language of bravery and duty that transforms a potentially stressful time into a shared mission of pride and accomplishment.
