Reach for this book when your child treats bedtime like a competitive sport and refuses to let their eyelids drop. It is the perfect antidote for those high-energy nights when every request for 'one more drink' or 'one more story' is actually a tactic to outrun the inevitable yawn. The story follows Gabby and her Granny on a whimsical, slightly chaotic adventure to Never-Nod, a place where sleep is forbidden and the party never ends. While the plot is rooted in absurdist humor and fantasy, the underlying emotional themes celebrate the warm, playful bond between a child and a grandparent. It normalizes the universal resistance to bedtime while gently using the rhythmic, repetitive nature of the text to actually induce the very sleepiness the characters are fighting. Ideal for children aged 4 to 8, this book turns the nightly power struggle into a shared laugh, eventually leading to a peaceful surrender to sleep.
