The Nice Dream Truck by Beth Ferry
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
What a cute book to send kids off to sleep!
The illustrations are wonderful and the suggestions for sweet dreams are such a great way to read kids to sleep.
I highly recommend this book!
Pink Is Not a Color by Lindsay Ward
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Pink is having a hard time figuring out what she is. She starts to think she isn’t a color because she doesn’t fit in the rainbow. She does a lot of searching before she realizes that she’s important.
The illustrations are cute and go well with the story.
Daisy the Dolphin: A book about making good choices by Natalie Pritchard
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a story with wonderful illustrations that teaches children to listen and make good choices.
I had a little trouble with it, imagining what would happen to Daisy because she didn’t listen. I can see a child having trouble with this at bedtime, thinking about consequences.
This is a Flying Rat by Andrew Cangelose
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I loved the visualization of the flying rat, which is used as a description of a pigeon. The pigeon takes offense in this book, but it is still used.
It was a cute book with fun illustrations. It would make a good bedtime story for an older child.
The Suitcase by Chris Naylor-Ballesteros
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
What’s in the suitcase?
The curious animals have difficulty trusting the stranger and see what they can do about it. It’s so very unfair to the strange animal and this book can lead to a good discussion with a child about how to treat others.
Nerdy Babies: Weather by Emmy Kastner
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is a cute, very basic, scientific book for children. This book is about weather and the descriptions are simplified for a child. It gives enough information to satisfy basic curiosity, but leaves enough out to allow a child to do more research elsewhere.
This Is a Whoopsie! by Andrew Cangelose
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I loved the humor of this book. A clumsy moose is so much fun. Playing with words is fun. The combination was fun to read.
I loved the illustrations and the unusual moose. It would make a good bedtime story, with the child laughing along.
Night Night, Sleepytown by Amy Parker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is a cute bedtime story that goes through many of the members of the town and what they do during the day. It takes all kinds to run a community, and the book shows great illustrations and tells good descriptions of the jobs that need to be done.
It’s Raining Tacos! by Parry Gripp
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
If you haven’t seen the YouTube video that this book was based on, please look it up. You’ll have the song stuck in your head forever.
The story is about going on to a new plan when the original plan doesn’t work. Something always comes around to save the day.
I recommend both the book and the video.
Where’s My Joey? by Wendy Monica Winter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Beautiful illustrations go with a beautiful story.
As the mother kangaroo is looking for her joey, it kind of reminded me of myself looking for my keys that are in my hand or for my cell phone while I’m talking on it. A child wouldn’t understand that, but the person reading to the child would.
This is a cute bedtime story that would be enjoyed by the reader and the child.
