Summary: Make Going To Bed Fun
Comment: Sandra Boynton has left her mark on the children's book industry and this is a great example of why she's been so successful. The story and illustrations just appeal to kids and there's no secret that this is her formula. Make going to bed fun and maybe, just maybe, it won't be such a chore!

Another bedtime story I'd recommend is Ladybug Baby Bug, by Janice and Mark Perkins, because of its similar qualities.

Summary: Very cute book
Comment: I love Sandra Boynton. I love the illustrated characters, the simple rhymes and so, evidently, do children. The Going to Bed Bed Book looked perfect for my toddler at bed time, so I couldn't resist picking it up recently at a local bookstore. The board-book format means less destruction, so if you can just keep 'em from chewing it, the book should last a long time.

The short rhyming story follows the adorable cartoon characters as they go through their bedtime routine. They take their baths, put on their pajamas and brush their teeth. Now this is the part where I had a teensy problem...after brushing their teeth, the characters all go and exercise before going to bed. Now I don't know about you, but a two-year-old exercising before bedtime around here is a recipe for...well...a two-year-old not going to sleep. So I freely admit that I kind of skip that page.

But the very last lines make up for it:

"The moon is high. The sea is deep. They rock and rock and rock to sleep."

It is at this point that I usually drift off and my son has to jar me awake so I can kiss him goodnight.

I do recommend the book if you don't have a problem with the exercise bit or if you have a child who does NOT feel the need to mimic everything they see or read. It really is a lovely toddler's book for either gender.

Summary: A "must have" in the bedtime library
Comment: It's a wonderful book for toddlers who love animals. Strangely, my daughter (22 months at the time of this review) doesn't really like animals, and so after a short spike she lost interest in this book and doesn't want to read it anymore. It is sad, because it was one of the first books that she virtually memorized and could supply the next word of the story. I want to believe that it's temporary, because it's a delightful story with great rhymes and funny illustrations. We are going to pare down her library a bit soon, but I am not selling or donating any of Sandra Boynton's books.
