An ingenious picture book from Claire Potter, the bestselling author of Which Food Will You Choose?, to help you entice little ones to happily go to bed through an interactive choosing game. Bedtime can be stressful and chaotic for many families: the children are tired and often resistant and uncooperative.

Five Steps to Bed is here to help! This interactive picture book gives children choices and a degree of autonomy, a popular and effective research-based strategy for creating a positive and enjoyable routine that transforms bedtimes. Exhausted Mummy decides to stop the bedtime squabbles by getting her little ones to help create their bedtime routine and comes up with a game to play for each step. While brushing their teeth or putting on pyjamas, the children dream up weird and wonderful ways they could get ready for bed. What would you choose? A bed made of jelly or made from clouds? Toothpaste flavoured like ketchup or mushy peas? A bath with mermaids or baby sharks? In this bedtime game, the choice is theirs! From bestselling author Claire Potter and featuring gorgeous illustrations from Ailie Busby. Guidance notes at the back of book break down the steps and help to reduce stress and chaos to create calm, positive bedtimes.
