Bedtime goes better when a child gets to do it, not have it done to them.
Most bedtime stalling isn’t really about water or dinosaurs. It’s about a good day a child isn’t ready to let go of. Pip’s dad notices, and asks the question underneath: “What’s really going on?”
Instead of a battle to win, bedtime becomes Pip’s own small ritual: a goodnight round for every toy in the room. It’s a ritual any child can borrow for their own room tonight.
One more, and one more, and one more.
The rest is in the book.
We stop here so the ending stays a surprise for your first read together.
