Boxer Baby Battles Bedtime! by Mia Wenjen, illustrated by Kai Gietzen
Mom is counting on Dad to get Boxer Baby down for her nap, but Boxer Baby is the G.O.A.T. of sleep avoidance. This hilarious face-off mimics a three-round boxing match, as Boxer Baby is no lightweight when it comes to staying awake.
Dad has a few tricks up his sleeve, but will it be enough in this epic battle against nap time?
Boxer Baby Battles Bedtime! uses figurative language to show how many common idioms have boxing origins. [picture book, ages 3 and up]

There are so many funny picture books! I love the Sandra Boynton books, and Chica Chica Boom Boom. Click, Clack, Moo and Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus. Gotta Go, Buffalo and Bottoms Up, because it’s fun to lift flaps. And, in honor of my mom, When You Give A Mouse A Cookie. I’ll never forget her delight when she discovered this book, in her sixties, and tried to tell me the story on her own, through her gales of laughter.
