Works as advertizzzzzzz.......
I just heard about the book and ordered the hardcopy.
A short while later I was informed by my spouse that my two little ones were still up and amped for their first day of school (tomorrow), so I added the Kindle version and downloaded it for immediate help.
Note: Reading on an iPad in a dark room created its own distraction. Not recommended. I'll use this version when we travel and use the hardcopy at home.
The book has you insert your child's name in, so I used the more active and harder-to-sleep one's name.
The forward suggests that it might take a few reads to get the pattern down and warns of unusual phrasings in the book which is certainly true.
The book is a lot longer than I thought it would be and the way the iPad breaks it up I kept thinking the book was over, when a new section would start. This should allow easy stopping points on later to check on the kiddos and end the book if they are out.
It took almost the whole book, but mine were out - and the one that never falls asleep first (whose name I was using throughout) was sleeping first.
I downloaded the book while they were running up and down the hallway, 20min later I typed this review.
