Meet Layla. She’s two, and Mum and Dad say it’s time for her to move to a Big Bed! We share this important ritual in any child’s life, as Layla prepares for her first night, banishes monsters, attempts some late-night wanderings, and finally wakes, jubilant (if a bit too early). From sleeping in unfamiliar places to getting up in the night,  fear of the dark, to waking up early, this sleep book has got it all wrapped up (in a big duvet).
