Reg is a bear whose name rhymes with EGG. Reg does not like going to sleep for the night, and when bedtime arrives, he must find a way to wind down. Luckily, Reg has his big sister Co-co to help move him through all the big feelings of his day and into a state of calmness.

Join Reg as he visualizes an imaginary trip to the ocean that will soon have him off to sleep. Reg Takes a Trip, the latest in the Tales for Big Feelings series, uses the five senses to guide reluctant young sleepers into dreamland.

“Lori brings to life the experience of the hectic bedtime routine with a beautifully descriptive account between Reg and Co-co that reminds us of the power of imagination.
