Reach for this book when you are in the thick of bedtime battles and need a way to laugh about the chaos rather than succumb to the frustration. Mortimer is a persistent little boy who simply refuses to go to sleep, preferring to belt out a loud, repetitive song every time a family member or even a police officer leaves his room. This story normalizes the boundary-pushing behavior common in young children while providing a humorous, exaggerated look at how a household reacts to a wakeful child. Parents will appreciate the clever twist where the adults eventually exhaust themselves, allowing the child to finally drift off on his own terms. It is a lighthearted, noisy, and cathartic read for families dealing with high-energy bedtimes.
