Bookroo's summary

A little boy is convinced it's not time for bed, despite completing his evening routine. As he helps with dishes, plays with the dog, and listens to a story, his certainty grows. But when will he finally drift off to sleep? This rhythmic tale, set against lush twilit scenes, invites young readers to discover the magic moment when bedtime truly begins.

From the publisher

As the day comes to an end, bedtime draws near. But the little boy in this book is quite sure it is NOT time for sleeping. As each piece of his evening routine is completed—helping with the dishes, playing with the dog, getting into pajamas, brushing teeth with Dad, being tucked in by Mom, and listening to a story—he becomes a little more certain: it is definitely not time for sleeping. The question is, when WILL it be time for sleeping? A rhythmic, cumulative text and lush twilit scenes come together to create a perfect bedtime book that will be treasured for generations to come.
