Sleepy Ted

Ted is a toddler who refuses to go to bed, no matter what the grown-ups tell him. Readers follow him around the house, searching the many places he could be instead of tucked into bed. Along the way, the book explores the many reasons a tired little one finds it hard to settle down, a situation many families will recognize.

The story is written for children and the adults who read to them. It is meant to be shared at bedtime, with the goal of helping a young reader connect with the book and carry its spirit along.
