Do you know a child who puts up a fight every time they have to go to bed? Then, it’s time to send them into Goop World, where the little Goops will take them by the hand and teach them important lessons around the world in one of the best educational podcasts on the internet.

Meet Abednego, an elegant Goop boy who always behaves like a gentleman, except when he has to go to bed--he throws tantrums to put it off as long as possible. On a snowy day, Abednego goes out to play and build a snowman with his friend Poutine, but when Poutine says it’s time to go home to sleep, Abednego refuses to go with her.

Abednego’s journey through the mythical world of Aoncodlata will help children learn why sleep is so important and exactly why they should appreciate their cozy bed. He will have to keep himself awake and travel close to the dragon’s castle if he wants to avoid captivity. In order to get back to Goop World, he’ll need to travel into his dreams and find a lighthouse that will take him back home. Will he finally learn to appreciate bedtime? Join him on his journey through Aoncodlata to find out!
