Why read it?
2 authors picked The Going to Bed Book as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book is my all-time favorite bedtime story for toddlers. Just thinking about this book has me yawning already.
It’s silly AND sleepy, with illustrations my kids always giggle at (I'm looking at you, animals wearing PJs that are too small.) It’s also rhythmic and rhyming and ends with a dreamy illustration of a boat rocking gently on the waves. This is a classic in my house!
From Kim's list on picture books to make bedtime fun.
I didn’t think much of rhyming picture books until I became a father. Whether I was savoring the bedtime experience, impatient to get on to the next task or about to fall asleep myself, the rhythm of this (and all of Boynton’s books) pulled me into the moment and made me an engaged reader. And Boynton’s books are as fun to look at as they are to read.
