Reach for this book when the sun has gone down but your child's energy is still at high noon. It is the perfect antidote to the frustration of a stalled bedtime routine, offering a chance to laugh together rather than battle over pajamas. The story follows a household where nobody is sleeping: Dad is baking, Mom is repairing the roof, and the siblings are engaged in playful combat. Through its rhythmic, absurdist poetry, the book mirrors the chaotic electricity kids feel at night. It transforms the stress of sleeplessness into a celebration of family creativity and joy. Best for ages 5 to 8, this story allows parents to acknowledge the 'madcap' energy of their home while slowly winding down toward a final, peaceful rest. It is a brilliant choice for high-energy children who need to see their wild imagination reflected in the pages of a book.
