Reach for this book when the nightly transition from play to pajamas feels like a battle of wills. It is an ideal choice for parents who want to transform a stressful bedtime routine into a bonding experience through the power of imaginative play. The story follows a young girl and her father as they reframe every mundane step of getting ready for bed, such as bathing and brushing teeth, as a series of royal preparations for a princess. While the book is essentially a guide for positive behavior modeling, it never feels didactic. Instead, it focuses on the warmth of the father-daughter relationship and the joy of creativity. It is perfectly suited for preschoolers and early elementary children (ages 3-7) who are beginning to assert their independence but still crave the security of a parent's presence and a touch of magic in their daily lives.
