Don't Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late!

这是一本把睡前拉锯战搬上书页的绘本。大人念'该睡觉了'，一只鸽子用尽百般伎俩讨价还价——从'再看一本书'到'我一点都不困'，一路赖着不走。它的特别之处，不在于讲了一个多么深刻的道理，而在于它让读故事的孩子天然站在了鸽子的这一边：我们看着它耍小聪明、被识破、再换招，忍不住想替大人喊'快睡！'。正是这种'明知故犯'的错位感，让拖延的孩子找到共鸣，也让熬夜的大人照见自己。它适合那些每天在 bedtime 上和孩子周旋的家庭：不需要读懂多少词汇，只需一起经历这场熟悉的'磨蹭'。它不提供解决拖延的方子，却把那种又气又笑的无奈，温柔地呈现了出来。
