Go to Bed, Fred!

Written by Hollywood comedy writer and mom-of-four Carly Mottinger, Go to Bed Fred is a testament that two things can be true: bedtime routines can be exhausting/grueling/tortuous/never-ending…AND we love our children very dearly. Most of the time. And most especially when they’re sleeping, right?

In this endearingly funny book, we join Brody as he attempts to put his dog, Fred, to bed (yes, Fred has a bedtime routine!). Fred hates to go to bed, but Brody meets the challenge with endless energy and a positive attitude. Later, we are introduced to Brody’s mom as she attempts to get Brody into bed. Brody should be much easier to put to bed than Fred…or is he?

Anyone who’s ever had the impossible task of putting a child to bed will relate to this story because let’s face it: bedtime is always a struggle, and no routine is truly magic. We bathe them, brush their teeth, read them stories, and then pray for miracles while stress-eating cookies. Kids will also relate to this book because Brody is EVERY KID…a master at delaying bedtime. How do they ALL have this superpower?

We hope Go to Bed Fred becomes a highlight in your own exhausting bedtime routines. Come follow us over on IG @starrymillentertainment for more fun parenting humor and share your little one’s best excuse for staying up late!
