Overview
Bedtime routines get a jolt of silliness and creativity when a dad and daughter face off in this timeless scenario. Bedtime routines get a jolt of silliness and creativity when a dad and daughter face off in this timeless scenario. When dad says it's bedtime and his daughter strongly disagrees, her stuffy hilariously comes to her defense. Lady Pigsworth is quick to point out the many ongoing projects that just can't be abandoned, the danger of sleeping in a butterfly costume, the alarming spinach stuck in the girl's teeth, and more. Each over-the-top declaration of why it can't possibly be bedtime yet leads the group through common bedtime routines in animated and heartwarming scenes-until Lady Pigsworth's demands reach questionable heights, even to the little girl, so she takes matters into her own hands to get both of them into bed. Dreamy illustrations and the hilarious Lady Pigsworth make for a perfect read-aloud that will leave any kid content to shut their eyes, at least for a little bit.
