This interactive self-help book is the complete resource for educating, motivating, and empowering children to fall asleep and stay asleep.

This interactive self-help book is the complete resource for educating, motivating, and empowering children to fall asleep and stay asleep -- like magic!

Wouldn't it be great if you could climb into bed, snuggle under your covers, and fall asleep without any fuss or fear? Without listening for noises or thinking about bad guys? Without an extra drink, or an extra hug, or an extra trip to the bathroom?

Bedtime is tough for many kids. If you're a kid who dreads your bed, and you're convinced that nothing short of magic will make nighttime easier, this book is for you.
