Meet a young prince who refuses to go to sleep! The entire kingdom comes out to lend a hand in this rhyming bedtime adventure. There is a hullabaloo of activity—jugglers juggling, magicians hypnotizing, dancers dancing—but it is the wonder of a good story that finally does the trick.

GeneralDear Parents,
Many children find it difficult to disconnect from their daytime activity and enter the world of sleep. And as we become tired and fatigued parents, we may sometimes try to use various methods to “persuade” our child to sleep, like the way the king and queen do humorously in the story, until an old woman comes carrying a book in her basket and offers them a strange and simple solution.
Some calming rituals may help many children cross the line between the active and playful world of the day and the still world of the night. Daily rituals, such as a warm bath, and sitting with our child in his bed accompanied by a fun book, give them a feeling of security, and help them relax and move into the world of sleep.
