Reach for this book when your toddler is high energy at bedtime and needs a rhythmic, sensory bridge to help them transition from play to rest. It is perfect for those nights when 'one more story' feels like a demand for more excitement rather than a plea for sleep. The story follows a whimsical steam engine as it chugs through a dreamscape of marshmallows, cookies, and gentle rain. Through the use of onomatopoeia and soothing internal rhymes, the book mimics the steady cadence of a moving train to physically slow a child's heart rate. It transforms the bed into a magical vehicle, helping children aged 2 to 5 view sleep not as an end to the fun, but as a cozy, imaginative journey they can participate in.
