“Five Steps to Bed” is a children’s book by Claire Potter and illustrated by Ailie Busby that uses a “choosing book” format to create a fun and engaging bedtime routine. The story follows a child and their parents as they navigate the five steps to bedtime, making choices along the way about things like bath time, pajamas, and bedtime stories. These choices are designed to make bedtime feel less like a chore and more like an exciting adventure. The book also includes guidance for parents on how to implement similar strategies to create a smooth and positive bedtime routine for their own children.
