Book Nook: Bedtime Book Round-Up

 As families across the country get back to school, it’s time to start getting little ones back into their bedtime routines! Recent studies show that parents are busy searching for the perfect book to help ease the transition back to bedtime and Penguin Random House has just the books to help!

 Llama Llama Red Pajama

Llama Llama’s tale of nighttime drama has charmed readers for over a decade and makes an ideal story for bedtime reading. With this board book edition, Anna Dewdney’s infectious rhyming text and expressive artwork are available to the youngest readers. Children will relate to Baby Llama’s need for comfort, as much as parents will appreciate Mama Llama’s reassuring message. 

10 Minutes till Bedtime

The countdown to bedtime is about to begin when a family of hamsters arrives at the front door. “All aboard,” shouts the child’s pet hamster, and it’s off to the kitchen for a snack, to the bathroom for tooth brushing, to the bedroom for a story. And just as the child starts to read, more hamsters stream through the front door and the escapades accelerate as the countdown continues. Now in a sturdy board book format, this favorite bedtime book will stand up to many story times, naptimes, and bedtimes.

Goodnight, Numbers

This deceptively simple bedtime book, the first in the McKellar Math line, gives your child the building blocks for math success. As children say goodnight to the objects all around them—three wheels on a tricycle, four legs on a cat—they will connect with the real numbers in their world while creating cuddly memories, night after night. Loving numbers is as easy as 1, 2, 3!

Little Owl’s Night

It’s evening in the forest and Little Owl wakes up from his day-long sleep to watch his friends enjoying the night. Hedgehog sniffs for mushrooms, Skunk nibbles at berries, Frog croaks, and Cricket sings. A full moon rises and Little Owl can’t understand why anyone would want to miss it. Could the daytime be nearly as wonderful? Mama Owl begins to describe it to him, but as the sun comes up, Little Owl falls fast asleep. Putting a twist on the bedtime book, Little Owl’s Night is sure to comfort any child with a curiosity about the night.

Dream Animals

Ideal for bedtime reading, this board book will be a hit with sleepy tots! Emily Winfield Martin convinces little ones to close their eyes and discover what their dream animal might be—a fox? a bear? a narwhal?—and what dream it might take them to. With perfect nighttime rhymes and gorgeous illustrations, this book is irresistible.

Where Do Diggers Sleep at Night?

The bedtime rituals of little diggers and dump trucks at a construction site should be quite familiar to kids saying goodnight. Young readers will identify with fire engines, tractors and monster trucks as the vehicles ask for one more story while their mommy trucks tuck them in, and their daddy trucks sing a goodnight song. Children who can’t get enough of trucks will love Brianna Caplan Sayres things-that-go bedtime story.
