Description

When Ira’s bedtime arrives, he’s not ready to settle down—so he makes a bold, imaginative plan to stay awake a little longer. But as the night unfolds, Ira’s “sleeping over” turns into a series of small, relatable challenges that test his patience, his creativity, and his understanding of what it means to rest. With gentle humor and a child’s-eye perspective, this classic story explores the universal tug-of-war between excitement and bedtime routines. Bernard Waber’s warm, accessible storytelling and memorable character voice make this a comforting read for families navigating the nightly battle of wills.
