Let me introduce you to Reginald, a beautiful, fun cat who would like to meet you!

Reginald is handsome, entertaining, kind, adorable and very smart. However, he does have a problem. He can't sleep. (Most cats sleep 17 hours a day!) Reginald is almost never asleep-- no, almost always he is fast awake! Finally, he becomes so tired that he decides to do something about it! Reginald visits his aunt, a cousin, and Granny Goldsmith and carefully follows their advice. Then he sits down and very carefully thinks about what is causing his difficulty and what he can do to help himself fall asleep. He tries his own solutions--- and then--and then-- he falls asleep. REGINALD falls asleep. (Quiet). Fast asleep!

Professional Review - Reginald: The Cat Who Couldn't Sleep

By Joy Marie Ibsen

Reviewed by: Herlene Badall /Authors Choice LLC Editorial Reviewer

"Reginald - The Cat Who Couldn't Sleep" is a charming and thoughtful picture book that blends whimsical storytelling with gentle life lessons in a way that will resonate with both children and adults. Reginald, a strikingly lovable feline protagonist, is not your typical cat-he's bright, curious, friendly, and, most unusually, wide awake when most cats are deep in dreamland.

This delightful story takes young readers on Reginald's quest for rest as he seeks wisdom from quirky relatives and eventually turns inward to find his own solution. The narrative subtly encourages problem-solving, mindfulness, and perseverance-all wrapped in a cozy, endearing tale. Children will relate to the frustration of sleepless nights, while parents will appreciate the book's calming tone and thoughtful resolution.

The language is playful and accessible, perfect for read-aloud sessions, and the pacing gently mirrors the winding-down process that mirrors bedtime routines. Reginald's character is lovingly drawn-smart, kind, and just a bit perplexed-which makes his eventual triumph all the more satisfying.

This book would make a wonderful addition to bedtime story rotations, offering not only entertainment but also a soothing framework for discussing sleep, routines, and the value of introspection.

Highly recommended for ages 3-7, especially for restless little ones who, like Reginald, are learning to embrace the quiet magic of sleep.
