      Bedtime routines are an important part of getting ready for a good night’s sleep and reading together is a great addition to the routine.

      Bedtime stories help the the children relax and settle down while listening to or reading a bedtime story. I know mine when they were little always fell asleep before I was finished reading. Even though they swore they weren’t even tired.

      Bedtime stories are great because they become a family tradition. They show children that their grown ups love them and love reading and books. Bedtime stories help children calm down for a good night’s sleep.

      I think reading bedtime stories are a special time to bond with your child. It’s also a time when the child’s mind can focus on the storyline. In the meantime, their minds can slow done, and relax enough to close their eyes. I usually had my kids say their prayers before they were read a story. Thank you for the opportunity to win this awesome giveaway!

      I would like to win this because it sounds like a fun book and I always like to get new books. I think bedtime stories are great because they help everybody wind down for the night and get ready to sleep. Bedtime stories also teach listening skills and helping to develop one’s imagination.

      Bedtime stories are one of the most special bonding times you can experience with your child. I loved reading to my children, and now to my granddaughter.

      Being a former teacher I know how important reading to your children are also reading at bedtime is so good as they soak up so much and are listening if not repeating what you are saying. My grandgirls are 1 and 3 and the older on makes funny things on the wall with her hands as her dad has taught so while he is reading she is making funny shadows so they is perfect for her. I loved reading to my kids, to my kids in the class and whenever the kids come over we have story time . What a wonderful book to put out and i would love to review on a few sites also. Thank you.

      Bedtimes stories are a great way to spend calm meaningful moments with a child (or even an adult). It has the added benefit of having a child sit still long enough for sleep to catch up so that they can fall asleep naturally without all the drama and fuss of bedtime woes!

      When I would read to my boys when they were little they would dream about it that night. They would tell me about it the next morning.

      I love bedtime stories and always loved reading to my children. It’s a special time to spend with little ones, cuddling and reading together. Now, I also get to read bedtime books to my grandchild.

      Kids feel so special when they are given a book. It’s the best gift that this grandma has even given. Always rewards.

      Such a fun and slightly nostalgic book! I can see myself cuddling and snuggling with my kids reading this then playing around with shadow puppets.

      I don’t remember my parents reading to me at bedtime but I ended up a reader. That doesn’t mean I don’t think reading at bedtime isn’t important. I wish they had. Not only is it spending time with your children, it’s bonding time and something your child remember. You’re getting them interested in reading and opening up their imaginations.
      Thank you so very much for the chance to win this incredibly generous giveaway!!! ❤
