Reach for this book when a thunderstorm or a bad dream sends your little one scurrying toward the safety of your bedroom. It is a perfect choice for those long nights when the 'big bed' feels like the only safe harbor in a house filled with spooky sounds. The story follows a series of siblings who, one by one, find their way into their parents' bed during a storm, only to be followed by the family dog and eventually Papa himself. It beautifully captures the cozy, slightly crowded chaos of family life while normalizing nighttime fears for children aged 3 to 7. Parents will appreciate the rhythmic, repetitive text that helps soothe an anxious child while celebrating the warmth of family togetherness. It is a gentle reminder that even when things go 'creak' in the night, love and humor can make everything feel alright.
