Reach for this book when the bedtime routine has turned into a battle of wills or a comedy of errors. It is the perfect antidote for the parent of a toddler who uses silliness as a stalling tactic, transforming a stressful transition into a shared moment of laughter. Cornelius P. Mud is a spirited little pig who has a very specific, albeit upside down, way of getting ready for bed. While he completes his tasks, he does so with a creative flair that keeps his caregiver on their toes. This story is a wonderful tool for validating a child's need for autonomy and play, while gently reinforcing that the ultimate goal of the evening is connection. It highlights that beneath all the gymnastics and game playing, what a child often needs most to feel secure enough to sleep is a simple, loving gesture. It is an ideal choice for children ages 2 to 5 who are finding their own voice and sense of humor.
