A parent might reach for this book when their child is beginning to take on small responsibilities or struggling with the frustration of forgetting instructions. It is a gentle, whimsical story about Noddy's attempt to help his friend Big-Ears, who is suffering from a bout of sleeplessness. To help, Noddy ventures into the market to buy ingredients for a magic sleep spell, only to find that keeping track of six different items is quite a challenge for a little toy man. The story beautifully models empathy and the desire to be a good friend, while also offering a lighthearted look at the cognitive hurdles of childhood, such as memory and focus. Set in the colorful world of Toyland, it provides a safe space for children aged 3 to 6 to see their own 'big kid' struggles reflected in a favorite character. It is an ideal choice for a calming bedtime read that emphasizes that even when we make mistakes while trying to help, our kindness is what matters most.
