My kids looove a good bedtime story. In fact if it is really great, it may just be the highlight of their evening. There are so many good books out there to choose from, but at our house these five rise to the top of the bookshelf.
- “Goodnight Moon” by Margaret Wise Brown
Of course this had to be at the top of my list. You can’t beat the classics. In this simple story a sleepy bunny says good night to all of the things in his big green room. It is great for helping kids unwind and relax after playing all day.
- “The Moon In My Room” by Annette Norris
This book comes with a little built-in moon nightlight. It is a story about a little boy who is getting ready for bed and in the story it shows kids how to use their moon nightlight when they get up in the middle of the night for water or the potty. My boys related to bedtime routine and the light up moon is comforting to them when I turn out the light.
- “Time To Say Goodnight” by Sally Lloyd-Jones
This book pulls you in with a beautiful picture of a bunny family on the cover and it take your kids on a journey through the meadow and the forest as sleepy animals turn in for the night as the nocturnal creatures awaken. It is a wonderful way to help them nod off as well as learn about new animals.
- “Don’t Let The Pigeon Stay Up Late” by Mo Willems
This is a great book for your little night owl. Willems starts off by giving children the duty of making sure that the pigeon doesn’t stay up late. And as the pigeon comes up with all kinds of excuses to stay awake, your kids yell “No! Go to bed”. It is such a belly-busting good time and kids have a blast with the role-playing.
- “There’s A Nightmare In My Closet” by Mercer Mayer
Has your child ever complained of a monster in their room? If so, this is the book for you. When a little boy suspects that there is a nightmare hiding out in his closet, he decides to face his fears and confront it. Upon doing so, he learns that the nightmare isn’t nearly as scary as he had thought. This a great book to build up courage and teach kids that most of our fears are not as frightening as we make them out to be.
