Customer Reviews

My kids still talk about it

I read this to my children when they were little they are all in their 20's now and in a month all mentioned to me different stories in the book so I ordered them one. Now they each have a copy to read to their children.

An excellent book for bedtime reading

This book is a perfect one to read to children when they are in bed for the night. Each two pages together make a theme, the text on one side and the illustration on the other. The topics are the kind that will be in the minds of children as they prepare for bed. How a bath washes all of the events of the day off your body and prepares you for a new day and new activities. How the sun makes a journey around the world each day so that children all around the world can experience the glory of the rising and setting sun. The phases of the moon, how it starts small and expands out to a full circle, going back down to a small sliver and eventually winking out to nothing. The sounds you hear in a house as all the creatures inside and out settle down for the evening. The text is just right for the young child to hear and the illustrations are colorful with few sharp changes in color. Both the author and illustrator are to be commended for the quality of the work. If I had encountered this book when my daughter was two, I would have read it to her many times.

Wonderful Book!

Our 3 1/2 and 5 1/2 year old daughters really enjoy this book. I love it so much that I give it to friends who have toddlers or preschoolers. The messages are so sweet and the words are appealing to young children. Nothing scary, just pure tenderness and comfort. It's a collection of one page stories, (each with a different theme) that interest young children - growing, blankets, rain, falling asleep, bath time, dreams, favorite toys etc. The format allows for good conversations to arise with your child.

Excellent for infants--pictures and language are wonderful

Great book for short attention spans. The illustrations capture the attention of infants, and the messages are simple and sweet. Highly recommend for new (and experienced) parents who would like to read to their children at very young ages.
